So petition your state reps to do it. AZ provides tools for self-service for most common tasks. With the exception of buying a car out of state and wanting to move a vanity plate over a few years ago, I can’t remember the last time I went to the DMV. It helps that our licenses don’t expire until we’re 65, so until my kids need to get their license, I don’t see a need to go back.
My vanity plate - FREEBSD -required an appeal to get to begin with because their system flagged it as a drug reference (free based). I had to _mail_(!) an appeal letter. When I went to transfer it, it was reflagged and they couldn’t even help me at the DMV, and instead of going through the appeal process again I just dropped it.
- solardev 3y agoI don't think I've ever successfully petitioned anything from any government, local or state, much less federal. I've tried. Our governments don't seem to be set up to respond to your average constituents at all, just rich businesspeople and politicos. These days it's all about culture wars and inflation, and no representative cares about day to day services and infrastructure.
