Dizzy Dee

I have been struggling to renew my driver’s license for a while now. As you probably know already, the traffic offices are one of my least favourite places. Since they have installed a new system, which is suppose to make the whole ordeal quicker & easier the whole of Gauteng’s traffic offices have nearly come to a standstill. I don’t about the rest of the country, but here things are pretty much ‘out of order’, and have been for some time now.

I will again attempt to apply for my new driver’s license this coming week, so please, hold thumbs! In the Eastern Cape 25 people have been arrested for driving without valid driver’s licenses, and were released on R700 bail. I heard on the news that they would be “accommodating” with those who haven’t been able to renew their licenses. Who the hell do they think they are? Its THEIR fault that people can’t renew their licenses, not ours?! Now they want to make it sound like they are cutting US some slack? I don’t get it! Plus now they’re going around arresting people?

Secondly, I don’t get why we need to renew our licenses? They’re suppose to do an eye test, but at some offices they don’t even do that? You just pay them R200 so that you can get a new card, with an updated photo on it? Its just a ridiculous money-making-scheme! Ugh… I wish I could just pretend that I don’t care about their arrogance, “Behold the all mighty department of transport?!” , but they pester us! There are thousands of taxi’s that cause people to die daily - most of they vehicles not even roadworthy. Get THEM off the roads instead?

The whole of South Africa knows that we can’t renew driver’s licenses at the moment!? Leave us ALONE!
