DMV In North Carolina
I went to the DMV to get some information about applying for a license. What I was told before I was rushed out of the office was that I needed to bring my photo id, birth certificate and social security card. It should also included a phone or utility bill for proof of address.
This one item has brought me to a breaking point. If I'm homeless, how am I to prove where I live. So after being "thrown" out of the DMV a couple of times, I called their number to see if they can answer my questions there. One operator could not believe I was this old and never had a driver's license. I said, "Miss, I'm from New York and you don't need a vehicle." She hanged up the phone. So I waited for another operator to speak to me.
Meanwhile, I'm using my minutes up for a call that should have been answered at the DMV office. I thought New York was bad, but every since I been in North Carolina, I wish I never left New York.
Anyway, the second lady was a little younger, but suprisingly more maturer. She told me all I needed was a self-stamp envelope with my address on it. I was thinking to myself. WOW! the man at the DMV just told me I need a utility bill. Then I thought again... WHICH ONE IS IT! If I go into the DMV and I bring this self-stamp envelope and it isn't accepted, I'M SCREWED BIG TIME!!
Also what bothered me about this process is that I was told I needed Insurance before I get the license. But I was thinking... But the car dealer won't sell me the car without a license. And the insurance company can't give me insurance without a vehicle.
But luckily I was able to talk to someone. He told me to go to South Carolina. They don't have all these qualifications that they have here. But there is a problem. If I go to South Carolina it would have to be for a very short period, because most of my stuff is here in North Carolina. (The more valuable stuff is still in New York).
For instance, my storage room is here, my mail box where I receive mail is here. But the way things looks, I will have to be homeless in South Carolina in order to get my license..
I just can't forget the reason how I ended up in North Carolina because the rent and the cost of living was so expensive in Virginia. I had an apartment, but I wasn't saving anything. So I took a risk to come down here to connect with a business relationship that fell through.
And when it fell through, instead of running back to miserable Virginia, I became homeless in North Carolina (2 weeks). Now I'm about to become homeless in another state that I'm not at all familiar with so I can get a license without all the hassles that North Carolina is giving me.
How strange is that?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
