driving stiff
Oh my god. Haven't been on here for a while because work takes up a lot of time, but the stuff with the DMV is completely out of control.
First of all, they told me they needed to receive documents by a certain date in order to avoid my license getting suspended. I turned them in on time, but they suspended my license anyways and didn't tell nee they'd done it or what I needed to do to get them back.
When they finally told me they suspended my license, they misinformed me a to what I needed to duo to get it back, so it took me nearly a month to get the right information and get the documents in.
When I called to confirm that they got the documents, they said it'd take 4-6 weeks to process, telling me I'd get something in the mail telling me what to do next at the end of the week. A week passes, and nothing, so I call again and am told the same thing. Another week passes, nothing in the mail, so I call again. This time I'm told I'll have hearing on December 24th, which is 8 weeks after I sent the documents in. I try to call them out on this, and they say they're busy because of the holidays, which is complete bullshit, because their load is based on medical issuers and stuff, they're not a retail organization or anything.
So I ask if there's any documents that I need to fill out that I haven't, pointing out this happened last time, and they said no. Then I asked if the medical document was filled out correctly, because last time it wasn't, and they said that they had no information on what happened last time and that if I wasn't sure, I could ask the hearing officer on the 24th. Which of course ifs useless because if they aren't filled out properly, I'll have to go through the entire process again, which would take just as long.
I've tried to speak to a supervisor there twice, to no avail, either they'd go say something unrelated, or this one time, they disconnected me.
So now it's been two months since I was cleared too drive, nearly three months since I turned in the first form with my doctor saying when I could drive, and give months since my license got suspended, and I just can't handle it any more. I'm having emotional breakdowns now, and spending more time at work hiding in the bathroom trying to unsuccessfully stop crying than I am actually doing work.
And everyone suggested I get a lawyer, but they all charge rates I can't remotely afford, and there's no guarantee they'd help anyways. So I'm totally and completely stuck, and now there's a chance I might spend Christmas all alone sitting on my butt, and I start crying again whenever I think about that. I just don't know what to do any more.
And everyone I know who's been in this situation has navigated the DMV with no problem at all, and had had a husband or wife our fiancee to drive then around when they really needed it, so nobody even has any useful advice :-(
