How Many Tries Did It Take To Get Your Licence?

If you're talking about L's..... took me three, not because I sucked, but because I had legal issues.

The first time: I didn't have the right proof of address because i don't have a letter box at home, I have a post box, and they didn't accept what I gave them.

The second time: I had changed my last name in court to my mother's last name about two years before I went for them and the court notice wasn't "legal enough" for the registry blokes so I had to go to some other government place to fill out this form for a hundred dollars and wait for three/four weeks for them to basically glue the court notice to the back of my birth certificate, even though I had it paper clipped to it anyways.

The third time: Got a JP (who was a local cop that knows my family) to sign some thing saying my residential address, but that wasn't good enough, but they let me take the test and if I passed I could go to the bank and get a lady to hand-write my name and address on a piece of paper with the bank header and take it back to the registery place to get my licence, which I did. :y:

So I would've got my L's about a month earlier if karma didn't hate me so much :o

But the stuff you have to go through for the government is ridiculous! Like, they didn't accept a Justice of the Peace thing over a hand written address on a bank piece of paper! :bash:

Bloody ridiculous.
