North Carolina DMV and court system sucks

(1/6) > >>

I'm getting my CDL, and after passing my tests today (I was sweating it after studying for so friggen much - :woot for me!), they tell me "before we can issue you your license, you have something in NC that has to be taken care of.  Until that's off there, we can't issue it".  DOH!

Big friggen hassle where they don't even show ANYTHING for me when I call NCDMV.  Turns out a ticket I got when I lived there wasn't handled properly.  In my state, if you pay the ticket, it's considered pleading guilty, and you go on with your day.  I didn't realize in NC, you need to show up if your payment isn't sent by some certain date, so my friggen ticket is PAID, but I'm considered a "Failed To Appear" for the court date, and I'm charged with court costs.  Having moved, I never got any info about it, and didn't think twice about it. 

Now, thanks to that, they send the info on to the DMV and my driving priveledges are suspended in NC.  Big whoop, right?  Wrong.  I've now gotta pay a reinstatement fee to the DMV, and I've gotta send court costs, all to have this removed from my record and get my CDL issued to me over an 8-year old speeding ticket.

At least now I can get my driver's license in NC again ::)

Nice expensive lesson learned.  Thanks for listening.

Reminds me of driving through Wisconsin. I never get out of that stae without a ticket. Damn Cheesheads are corrupt I tell you. Did you know that one time in Wisconny they nailed me speeding on I-94. My ticket was for like $220. Do you know how they took payment for that? A credit card on the spot...yep thats right State Trooper has a credit card machine in his car and wouldn't let me go till I whipped out my Visa.

Your NC story sucks but I'm just sayin...Cheesland ain't a whole lot better! Anyway...(end rant here)

 ;D

Big Johnson has become to cliche.

Congrats on the CDL. Will they let you back on the Riding Lawnmower with that?
