Unlicensed Driver on the Loose!
Just realized last night that I had been driving around with an expired license for the past week. Don’t know what is was that suddenly made me think about it. Good thing too or I’ll be an unlicensed driver indefinitely!
So I had to sacrifice my lunch time shower to go renew it at the post office. There was not a lot of people there maybe because it was raining so I didn’t have to wait long.
Being the hoarder that I am I had kept the renewal slips from past years. I just handed the guy behind the counter the necessaries - my license and what I assumed was the renewal slip for last year - and waited for him to process it. Of course, it was the wrong renewal slip so I checked and handed him another one, this expired in 2006!
"Hah, jaga awak! Kalau you buat macam ni depan polis mesti kena heret pi balai," he said.
By now I’m starting to panic. Did I lose the renewal slip from last year? I quickly dug out the pile from my wallet and search through them, finally finding the right one which I sheepishly handed over to him (blush).
So finally, I can legally race along the roads again, for another year, at least.

Hey, thanks girl…for this post. After reading this, I decided to give my own driving license a quick check coz it’s also been AGES since I last checked it. Found the expiry date to be 27Dec2007 (that’s next month!). Must make a trip to the post office one of these days to renew when I still remember this. The last time I renewed it was in 2002!
See, I took the easy way out. Renew it for the max of 5 yrs so I don’t have to worry abt it for the next 5 yrs.
You may want to consider doing the same thing. One less thing to worry about on an annual basis.

I did! The last time I did that I forgot to renew it for 2 whole months! If I hadn’t seen my colleague scheduling it into her calendar, I might not have renewed it for God knows how much longer…..
