I once accidentally allowed my drivers license to expire, not that it matters much over here where nobody really seems all that concerned about whether or not you have a license. The process of renewing your license in the state I come from in USA is something that you can do online unless your license is already expired. Getting another license because mine was expired was an absolute nightmare and involved me sitting for a written test with a bunch of 15 year old's that probably assumed I was a narc and also doing a road test with someone 20 years younger than me being my instructor.
The strange part was when they told me it was time to do my road test and they asked me where my car was.... you mean you expected me to drive a car here without a license? to get a license? huh?
