Dear workers at the DMV,
I had an hour to kill (aka my lunch hour) so I decided to pay a visit to your establishment. (Ok, my license was expired and I didn't have a choice, if I wanted to continue driving legally.)
I have a few questions that I'm hoping you, as Government employees, can answer. I've attempted to come up with the answers myself during my lengthy visit, but was unable to obtain an acceptable answer.
Question 1. Why do I feel safe walking through Wal-mart but fear for my safety at the DMV?
Question 2. Where are all the normal people? (To help you answer this question - typically when you visit a public establishment, you see a mixture of people from different nationalities, income brackets, and walks of life. But not at the DMV!)
Question 3. Why is it easier to get a Passport?
(Seriously, you require the following documents to get a Drivers license - Passport, (or birth certificate), Social Security Card, Utility bill (with address), major credit card (with address).
Question 4. This is more of a comment than a question. As I sat and watched the 80 year old lady
(with her glasses on) attempt to pass the DMV eye exam over and over and over, I grew more anxious and now fear for my own safety as I drive on Utah's highways and roads. If someone can't pass an eye exam with glasses on, maybe you should suggest a good eye Dr, instead of giving them a Drivers License.
