In Tennessee, after you reach a certain age, 60 or 65, you dont even need to go to the DMV to renew your license. They send a little card in the mail, you send them your $10 (at least it was $10 when I lived up there), and they will send you your license in the mail. There was one old man that lived down the road from me and he was legally blind, but he still got his license. Can you imagine meeting a blind man driving a large Cadillac convertable comming at you on a two-way, one lane road? Where on one side was a mountain and on the other was a 150 ft cliff?

Unbelievable, Shadow! I think I have encountered some of these blind drivers. I'll never forget the time some geezer was driving 15 MPH in both lanes of the Indiana Tollway, and as I finally passed him I realize he had his head back, his mouth open, and he was fast asleep (and probably snoring)!

I called 911 and reported it. Beeping my loud horn didn't seem to awaken the dead ...

The weirdest thing I saw from a newly licensed driver was about 8 years ago when a neighborhood kid shouted to his friends he got his license, as he drove into a tree at 40-50 mph (in a 10 mph zone of course) and totalled his car!

Interesting Fact about yours truely...

I never took a driving test in my life.

Here in Oklahoma, at one time, the law allowed for when you turned 15 you could get a Drivers permit, with a written test. So I turned 15 on a wonderfull July morning, and My Grandmother took me down.

I think I missed one question (carbon dioxide smell) , but anyway, I passed, so we went to the tag agency In Claremore Ok.

the clerk announced that the cost would be $20.00 for the permit, And that we would have to come back in a year , Pay another $20.00 to have that Pesky restriction 9 removed, and get a liscence.

My Grandmother is a very Cheap women, and she through A fit. Here in OK, the liscence is supposed to last 4 years.

Anyway, she paid The amount, and low and Behold, I didn't have the Restriction on my liscence. No need for a Driver over the age of 18 to Be in the car with me. I took to driving that week and never looked back.

Secondly, I guess I followed my Grandmothers cheapness, I still have my AZ DL which I paid $20.00 for . It expires in July of 2030. I refuse to pay the same amount here in OK every 4 or so years.
