Without telling too long a story, I pulled out my Drivers License today, (no, I wasn't pulled over), to check the expiration date on it for a form I had to fill out. Guess what!?! It expired in April. LAST April!
I was so happy I went running around the office clicking my heels and walking into walls.

O.K., now, just for fun, let's everybody else pull out their Drivers License and check the expiration dates on them. Yes, even you Mrs. "I'm a Mod and I don't Have To". It's only fun if everybody plays.

The next one with an expired License, own up to it and post it out loud for everyone to hear, and you'll get to be "UM's Resident Bonehead for the Day". I'll have UM's mailroom clerk, Mrs. Helen Waite, send you the Crown, (read: "dunce cap"), and Royal Sceptor, (read: "Toilet Plunger"), C.O.D. If you'd like to avoid the shipping costs, just go to Helen Waite for them!


Actually, I posted this as a sort of public service message. It's one of those things that you never pull out unless the cops ask you to so, it IS kind of easy to forget when you are supposed to renew them. It's also pretty easy to get a nice fat traffic citation for letting it expire as well. Just trying to remind you to save yourself some money. Have fun!

YOU GOT ME!!! Mine expired last February!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHH!!! And just think, I flew to Los Angeles in May, used my driver's license for ID at airport security, and nobody said a word. I also had my passport -- but still -- I'm wondering if an expired license shouldn't have caused a security concern??? Or maybe it isn't a big deal, in that case.

But now, crap, they will probably make me take both the written and driving test over again! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Don't feel so bad, I mean, how often are you asked for your I.D on a daily basis....unless you've done something wrong....I equate it to not readily remembering your cell phone #, how often do you call yourself?

That being said, last April is a BIT of a long time, LOL.

I have a GOD license and it never expires!

Mine expired April 29th of this year lol.

I got it out to check, does not expire until next year, and now while roaming back and forth I have laid it down and lost the damn thing. ARRRRRGGGGG!!!

Blame Umbarger.

LOL... nope not expired, I'm ok till 7/2010...

My license expired................lets see....two years ago.............

*checks*

whew, I'm good until 11/2009. Oh god, I hate my friggin pic on this! bleh...

i dont understand in england our licenses dont expire until we reach 65. how often do you have to renew your licenses in the us?

I do believe its every four years.

Ha! I still got a couple of years on mine....

Most places I've lived - in the west and midwest - send out a notice when you're license expires. Maybe it's different in the south..

My birth certificate expired!!

Thanks for this thread LU, I just realized my license expires in August... is there a different award, for NOT letting it expire?

in oz ours expire after 5 years and you are sent a nice letter reminding you to renew

This is the year mine expires, but our county office sent me a reminder.....so I got mine renewed a month before it expired. *phew* I was relieved to get that outta the way, now I own the road for another 8 yrs.

It depends. In sopme states it's four, in others it's five. Georgia now offers the option of a ten year license, for an extra fifteen bucks.

They are supposed to here as well but, as you pointed out, this is the DEEP south. And let's not leave out the possiblity that I just over looked it.

As the esteamed jugde of this little show your DL contest, I hereby award you with the freedom to gloat to your hearts content, until I come up with a little contest that you don't pass. And OhYES< the wheels are turning!!! MUH-ha-ha-ha!

Post 3,300 ! Yeah me!

Mine expires every year which is a pain the a***! But mine is good until January 2, 2008.

I'm good till 4/09

ahhh man you got me when you said lord umbarger did something stupid i was expecting to read something like "dateline to catch a predator"

Just knew I was nutty enough to go to the big house, eh!?! Of course, it IS always the ones that you never suspect, right?

I just can't see me doing anything that stupid. Stupid, yes, that stupid, no. You shall not rid yourself of your favorite right wing foils that easily!

expired every 5 year here... and i believe every 4 year for car license.

HA, I got you all beat! Mine expired in October 2005. I can't drive right now anyways so why bother paying to renew it?

I'll be patiently waiting for my crown and sceptor. Thank you.

Mine expires 1/2052. I'll probably forget to renew it then though

Mine expires in August, and I only know that because I have to collect about 37 different proofs of ID and a signed note from god himself in order to get my new one.

Durn NJ digital crap.

lmao... I had to go through something similar to get my son's learner's permit.. it would have been easier getting through an airport with an AK47 slung over my shoulder.

Doesn't the state send you something in the mail asking for their renewal fee? I'll have to check mine, but I'm pretty sure Mules don't need liscences....

I had trouble getting my learners premit when I was 15. Turns out that when I was born the nurse put a Jr at the end of my name on my birth certificate and then removed it with white out. Although it was probably acceptable to do that at the time, when I went to get that license, they were afraid that I might have modified my birth certificate! I had to go get a signed and noterized letter stating that it was in fact my real, unadulterated birth certificate.

I had the foresight to keep that letter. I keep it all in one neat little file now so I can prove that I am not from Mars.

July 2009.

*wipes brow*

This state is stupid... Depending on your birthdate (I believe it's based on even/odd dates) for example if you were born on the 9th, you renew after one year. Then when you do that, it's good for 2 years, after that two years is up, then it's good for one year again and so on--2 years, 1 year, 2 years, 1 year. Stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

I did exactly what LU did... I didn't realize mine had been expired for year... I didn't have to take the tests again, but i DID have to pay a FINE for not realizing it was exprired... a $75 fine--it ended up costing me $117 to renew this year. *sigh* Isn't that State racketeering?

My liscense plates expired last month. I didn't even realize until today. And I've been driving a lot!!!
