I ran into something like that a few years ago when I tried to renew my driver’s license. I had a speeding ticket from years before that - in Ohio, in fact - and because of that I couldn’t renew. It was a Catch-22 type of situation. I was out of state so I had to have some different type of insurance that I couldn’t get because I lived out of state. And all this was because of a national drivers database created after 9/11. It was supposed to keep us safer, I guess, but as far as I can see the only outcome is that legal U.S. drivers are getting caught in the machinery, like I did.
After all this time, we’re still now serious about homeland security. But watch how the obama crew turns it around to make even more rules and regulations for the law abiders to follow.
That happened to my wife a few years ago. Went to renew her Ohio license, had a ticket from New York. A real pain to sort out.
