The DMV doesn't offer "services." It extorts people and forces them to do stupid crap. There's a difference.

Given the people who have licenses, those "minimum requirements" seem to be mostly mythical. It's a way for the state to get money, and nothing else.

Unlike most people, I DO think about how roads "came to be," which is why I know what a horrendously bad deal it is, given all the ways (mainly gasoline taxes) that people get robbed to fund such a crappy job.

Describing possible transportation alternatives may require a separate post, since it's a bit much for a comment.
