Are You A Massachusetts Resident?
You may want to keep track of exactly when your driver's license expires. This is so incredible to everyone who hears of it, even SNOPES carries the story!!!
You may even want to check and be sure it hasn't been revoked for some reason or you - like Michael Graham - may end up in jail without even knowing why. I really loved this bit...
You would think the RMV might just have some sort of PR survival thoughts in their head. But I suppose since Graham is a conservative (*gasp*) radio talk show host, they figure he doesn't matter.
I now have a reminder in my Blackberry for next year so I don't end up with an expired license. If you live in MA you may want to do the same. (BTW - what do I get for the $60 I pay to the RMV?)
Claim: Massachusetts is no longer mailing notifications for driver's license renewals.
Status: True

As I write this, I've been on hold for almost an hour with the RMV, waiting to speak to someone about why my license was revoked. I can't get that information. But the RMV is happy to give it to members of the media.

Hola Teresa!!
I just tell the cops in California....No habla El English. Viva OBAMA!
They let me go. Works every time....however, I once almost blew it by telling the officer I was insured.

No wonder I've never been to Taxachusetts. It's too bad, that state was once the cradle of freedom. Did they add something to the water that turned your whole government into peabrains?
Why do a majority of folks put up with this? Have you no tar? Are feathers illegal? No rope?

JG - I had thought of doing that. LOL.
Peter - I have no idea what is wrong with these people. It's weird that they seem to find this crap okay.

Well, Indiana doesn't send notices (for operator's licenses, they do for plates), but your license expires on your birthday. I guess they figure people can remember that.

OG - if that had been the case all along, there would be no complaint. But they just... stopped... no warning and no notice except on their web site and maybe at their offices.
I don't visit the RMV web site or their office unless I'm going to get a license. So, they did one of those - we'll change the rules, not tell you, and then fine you when we catch you out... tow your car and leave you on the side of the road!!! Yes, they do that.

Yeah, and that sucks.
I read Graham's entries... sounds like Massachusetts could use some REAL Boston-Tea-Party-style action down at RMV headquarters.
