At the DMV with my son, for him to upgrade to his full adult license.
Prayers appreciated to lessen the wait time. Almost 1 hour in at this point.

Probably especially bad for the state you are in. Are you still in line
today?

Whole trip took about 2 hours.
One hour to check in, another hour to get called to the window for making the change.

The system is broken. Since 50% of drivers on the road do not actually
know how to drive a motor vehicle, states should suspend the entire process of driver's education and DMV testing. Once someone turns 35, if they're still alive, the state should simply mail a license to the individual. License plates should also undergo streamlining: personal vehicles wouldn't have a paper temporary tag or a permanent metal plate. The license ID "plate" should be a self-actuating hologram that appears when the ignition is turned on and a breathalyzer toot is passed.

luckily for us in Virginia, that's not a thing any more....
The learners permit and a paper from the driving school IS your "real license", until they mail you the real, real one....

Buy him one of these for his first car:
Guarantee he'll have the only one at his high school. ** Edited by EDGEMAN at 3/13/2026, 2:31:10 PM

Great car, as long as you do an engine transplant. Think LS3... :)
