I wonder how many of these recipients who will choose to drive will have car insurance. It’s no wonder our rates increase over 10 percent per year. Somebody has to pay for the accidents these drivers cause.
While I had 4 valid forms of ID and was only allowed to use 3 until someone from another desk came over and said your drivers license can be used now .These people are unbelievable, state police issued gun cards don’t count state issued drivers license don’t count it was a complete joke but these pricks can walk in with no valid ID and walk out with something even though they can’t read or write it English
Wait until Alexi has his dream of drivers licenses on phones. I can hear the excuses now “ My phones dead!”, “ I can’t pull my license up!”, “ It’s the states fault it’s screwed up!”. Meanwhile the law abiding sheep keep paying for their licenses, registration of their vehicles and carry insurance.
To be fair, there is no requirement you read or write English. You can take the DL test in many languages
Corrupt Democratic state.
All a part of the plan to make illegals ‘look’ legal.
