DRIVER'S LICENSE ^&*%%#%$ PART II

posted Sunday, 26 October 2003

after all the brouhaha i went through LTO last friday, the verdict was i have to take the exam AGAIN. since my last record at LTO was in 2000, that means technically, my license has been expired the last three years. they said they couldn't do magic on my supposedly non-existent license (from 2000-2003) so i have to take the exam to my make my 1998-2000 records active again.

plus i have to pay the penalty charges because of a supposedly expired license. three years of penalty, take note!

for me to take the exam tomorrow, i had paid for an affidavit of loss and submitted to window 6 to claim that i have lost my 1998-2000 license (that's why my license expired for that long daw). i will claim my certificate that they are allowing me to take that stupid exam. then i will take the written and practical exam. unfortunately for me, i have to rent a car tomorrow for the practical exam (since the vehicle i'm driving is in laguna) so that means i have to shell out an undetermined amount for me to take that )&@#$^$&%*& exam.

and it will take me another whole day at LTO.

if only i didn't need to have that license desperately --- egad! --- i wouldn't have to go through shit.

if tomorrow i won't get my license, expect the newspaper headlines the following day:

GIRL RUNS AMOK AT LTO

LTO director killed in shooting spree

why are you taking the exam again?

as far as i remember, you dont need to.


a friend of mine had his license expired for three years as well and he wasnt asked to retake anything - just pay the penalty.


if the reason for retaking the exam is because they cant find your records-that would mean they want you to retake for the purpose of having a new one (take note that without your license number they wont have any reference to it).thus, you dont need to pay the penalty.


another thing,they should not have any trouble locating your file.since they have your name anyway,not your lic# alone.


i had a license when i was 13 - forged my birth records.i had that license revoked when i was 18 so i could have a clean slate of records (i didnt have a license for one year).but i had a kept secret that i had another license when i was 14 because i lost my first license and to get away with the filing of affidavits,a friend voluteered to help me get a new one -which was the one i had revoked.


now when i was getting my new,legal license, they cam across the file of my lost license 5 years ago!


if they can find my record 5 years ago without having it renewed or anything, they can find yours.

well,anyway,good luck na lang.

sorry for the long post!

long comments are welcome. = )

they have a new ruling now regarding expired licenses. licenses expired for two years only had to pay the penalty to get a new one. after that you have to take the exam again to have a new license.
