First....Don't if at all possible. Second...Don't trust 'em. Third, keep a copy of every piece of paperwork they give you and, even more important, every one you send those jerks, because they keep their copy until your corpse is 10,000 years gone. Unless they lose it, then that's YOUR fault.
Just sayin'.
So, juvat, where did this theory come to fruition.
Y'all know that Halloween afternoon last year I had an AFib incident. My heart was beating very irregularly and blood wasn't being pushed to areas of my body that reIied on it. In my case it was the brain, I blacked out and lost control of my truck which had the cruise control on at 75MPH (the posted speed limit). It went off the side of the road into a ravine and hit a rock. I've mentioned my respect for Ford trucks and that respect was reinforced. Upon hitting the rock, the engine compartment was crushed almost all the way to the firewall.. However, the rest of my F-150 was intact, thankfully including the passenger compartment. The truck was, of course, totaled, but the Missus and I were ok, not great. I had a couple of cracked vertebrae in my neck and my sternum was pretty well broken. Still hurts a bit it does. Mrs J had a few bruises across her chest where the seat belt forcibly stopped her forward motion. I also had mine on, but it didn't stop me before I hit the steering column, hence the injuries.
But...We live on.
Around the 1st of June, AKA about 10 weeks ago, I got a letter from the DMV that said I could resume driving as soon as they received a letter from my Doctor saying my condition was good enough. So, I did. I sent that in and started driving again. That was June 9th.
This week, I got a messaged from the DMV saying that I was prohibited from driving as I hadn't submitted the proper paper work.

I sent those weinies copies of the paperwork the first week in June when they requested it. I've been driving since then without any problems whatsoever. NOW, they send me a message saying I have to come and testify at their office?

So, I'm back to being chauffeured by Mrs J until this gets resolved. Not happy! Neither she nor I.
November Sierra, Sherlock!
We shall see what we shall see!
You may have detected a very small, minute amount of irritation in this blog post vis a vis, state gummint. If so, you are very astute. My recommendation, every interaction you have with them, keep every piece of paper, and a copy of every piece of paper you give them in a very safe place. It's not a guarantee of victory, but it least reduces the chance of defeat.
Sorry for the rant!
Peace out y'all!
