DMV has impressively latched onto COVID protocols and is taking them to an extreme other state agencies can only dream of. Still reservations only and now no road tests.

I notice they haven't abandoned the VIN Check shakedown, though. Maybe they can have us do it ourselves--use some non-encrypted website hosted by a politically connected vendor to search for our VIN, and when it doesn't come up (it won't, there are no cars in the database) we just pay a flat fee split among the police departments.

Hey DMV. I'm consulting over here.

The reservation system has been a huge improvement in my experience. Yes you will have to wait a few weeks but when you do get in, it's quick. I had to use the DMV twice during Covid protocols and it was much better than sitting on the wooden bench for 3 hours.

Hey I gotta take back what I had said, at least partially. Last year I needed an appointment for a registration--couldn't find one. Had to try to game it like getting a COVID vaccine when they were first out.

Went now to see and there are tons available, though not necessarily where I want to go. State is small at least.
