So, hubby's manager tells him the other day that his driver's license expired on his bday. (the hotel keeps track of anyone's license that is at anytime responsible for driving the hotel shuttle) So, he calls me at work and I go online immediately to renew his license. Nope, no can do. Maine recently adopted the Real ID policy. Both of us have our PO Box listed on our ID's rather than our physical address and because of that we can no longer renew online    

So, after running a few errands we headed to the DMV this morning. But, no, it just could not be THAT easy could it? Nope! We were within 1 mile of the DMV when this "Opps, I forgot to wear my sunglasses" moron rear ended us!!   We were stopped at a read light and even though she intended to turn right into the parking lot beside us she did not see the red light, nor our car!   The more likely reason would be the cell phone that was in her hand! I swear those things were created by Satan himself!

Anyway There is no damage to our car thankfully. My neck/head hurt afterwards but I refused an ambulance. Im not in any great pain right now. BUT... here is the clincher. Hubby decided to be honest and tell the cop he knew his license expired and was enroute to the DMV. What did he get in return? A summons with a nice little $137 fine attached!     Which he, of course, plans on contesting. If not for the damn Real ID program (and of course this moron who shouldnt have a license if she cannot see to drive at 9 am!)  this would not have happened.

Calgon take me away to CT now!
