I Went To Renew My Driver’s License Monday…

The clerk asked if I wanted to renew it for 4 years or 8 years. Then she looked at my birth date and said I was old enough to get it for free so I might as well get the 8 year license. They charge $77 for the 8-year license. I was feeling pretty happy cause I saved a lot of money that I wouldn’t have to pay again. That was a short-lived thought because it occurred to me at my age in 8 years I could be dead by then. I’ve known a lot of people who died in their mid-70’s. Such a morbid thought isn’t it?

Make it your goal to outlive your license, then come back for new one and tell them, “Still alive!” 😆
@cherokeepatti I miss hunting. I’m a big fan of venison.

@cherokeepatti yumm. 😋

not morbid at all. I am very healthy for my age, but my age is not 30.. so if I through no fault of my own kick it in the next 8 years I might be disappointed but not really surprised. I think it's a healthy attitude to acknowledge, accept, and try to enjoy the day as best I can while I have it.

Wait you get an option for 8 years?? Wish I had that option here. I renewed mine right before places starting closing down cause COVID, and there was no option for 8 years.

@twiigss maybe Covid had something to do with, cuts down on the lines and time it takes to get one if you can renew it for 8 years.

@cherokeepatti only nice thing we have going for us is, no more license plate sticker and we can renew registration for 2 years.

In New South Wales Australia, if you are a pensioner or retired your drivers licence is free, plus your car registration is also free

@nedkelly That sounds good. Would be good if they got free bus passes here for the entire metro area but that won’t happen

@cherokeepatti Pensioners pay a flat fee of $2.50 all day
Then again... You could be back in front of the same clerk in 8 years.

@HootyTheNightOwl That’d be fine with me, another free 8 year renewal if I’m still kicking by then.
@cherokeepatti Not everyone likes the trip to DMV...

@HootyTheNightOwl It’s not bad here at the one I usually go to. I have also gone to one at the little town south of here, it’s usually not busy and then there is one in south OKC that I’ve gone to when I was working at a car lot. Got my license and tags renewed there a few times.

Wow, that seems expensive! That converts to about £64 😱.

Here are some charges in UK
