That's mostly an american problem, not a "government bad" problem.
- boplicity 4y agoIt's not even necessarily an American problem; when I lived in Washington State, the last time I got a renewal was expedient and surprisingly efficient. I was impressed with how well run the place was.

- dottedmag 4y agoI've got a driver's license in another country, and it's still up for renewal every 5 years.
- rospaya 4y agoMost countries treat driver's licences seriously, not like the US. It takes months of classes and driving hours, exams and tests to get one where I live. Renewals mean getting your eyes checked, no photos etc.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoSounds exactly the same as the US. The question is: how difficult are the exams and tests? In the US, the written exams are 80% irrelevant information that you pass by wrought memorization right before, and the driving test is trivial (parallel park, left turn, k-turn, right turn back to start). At least that was my experience in New Jersey.
- imperfect_blue 4y agoIt's almost a tautology. All things being equal, the less time spent on bureaucratic processes, the better. Its just so that governments (and academic institutions, nonprofits, healthcare, etc.) are the natural environments for bureaucratic bloat.
