Okay, so. I've been trying to get a driver's license in Tennessee, because I live there now and that's a Shit Days post on its own but anyway
I swing by to figure out what's taking so goddamn long and they're like "lol your Georgia license was suspended for some reason
"
and I'm all "lolwut"
So of course I can't get ahold of anyone in the Georgia Department of Driver Services because they apparently have just the one person there answering phones and they get paid by the hour not by the actual number of people helped or whatever.
So I drive to Atlanta on a suspended license.
On the way I notice a car parked in the median.
Which turns out to be a cop with a radar gun
Who turns on his headlights after I pass by
Welp looks like you got me I guess my van's impounded and I'm going to jail or whatever happens to people who drive without a lic--
oh, he's going after that SUV. Whew.
So anyway.
Turns out my court date from August?
In addition to the $650 fine I had to spend in fees for someone else's paperwork fuckup, they suspended my license. To get it back I must take a defensive driving course -- again, for a paperwork fuckup completely unrelated to how good I am at actually driving -- and pay an additional $220 in fines.
Nobody told me this until I took it upon myself to make a roadtrip three months after the fact, of course.
