• California accuses 11,000 drivers of license renewal "noncompliance"

    California takes the lead in the race for the bottom!

    11,000 drivers were recently informed that they had taken their written
    tests in a "noncompliant" way. Did they cheat? That would be liable. Did
    DMV lose records? That would be gubmint owning up to its own errors.

    The burden is on the driver to retake the written exam within 30 days or
    have their license revoked.

    I don't see how the revocation can happen without due process and
    adminstrative procedures. Also, the driver cannot defend against an
    accusation that the state isn't even trying to accuse them of, let alone
    prove.

    California is a constitution-free zone.

    I'm sure the bastards will charge them all over again, too.

    The DMV "written" test is actually taken on a computer. There's no writing involved. What likely happened here is that their database got corrupted somehow and now they can't tell who passed and who failed.

    And these are the people the socialists want running our health care system.

    Is the written test even in English or do they pander to a hundred
    foreign languages? I'm curious....

    Of course they get to take the test in their native language despite the road signs they're expected to read are all in English.

    Make it make sense.

    I did the paperwork to get an International Driver's Licence when I went
    to Europe in 1983 and 1991 on the theory that it would make it possible
    for me to rent a car if I wanted to go that way. I didn't even have to
    take a test, just fill out a form and show them my Ontario driver's
    licence. Tourists frequently travel in countries where they may not know
    the language but usually get by okay since the symbols on the sign are
    fairly standard at least on a regional basis although some of the
    European ones are different than what we use in Canada and the USA.
