Or more like, guess what is back. Was in the mail today. So they made sure that I receive it on time. Complain as much as you like about inefficient bureaucracy/government/whatever. This went completely flawless. Maybe they are aware that if they mess with something like people’s licenses, there are enough nutjobs out there to spike a few donuts with rat poison?

If I ever hear a German complain about inefficiency, I’ll send them....literally anywhere else...for a reality check.

You can’t get D grades and expect to succeed in life.

Are you allowed to drive now, or do you have to wait until the 29th (I don’t read German well enough to see what is going on in that letter)

Wow you still have those paper drivers licences in Germany? Over here in the Netherlands we changed to creditcard sized once about 10 years ago, and we need to renew the card itself every 10 years.

Anyhow, good to see you have it back!

Welcome to the DMV. Where the wait times are measured in light years and you can go fuck yourself.

(not you, all of us) lol

Both, the Germans have made the days more efficient so it’s already the 29th there.

“The ban ends at the end of the 29th.” is what it says. So I can drive again on Monday 30th. I planned it this way. They just sent it back in advance as to make sure that I actually, physically have it my hands on Monday. Which is nice, I guess.

Fucking DMV people. Light years are a measure of distance! Not time! Typical.......

They switched to plastic sometime around the millenium. The old ones just don’t expire. I know people in their 60s who still have their first (grey) license with a photo from when they were 18.

This would be the current one.

“Close to failing that’s why they call it ‘The D’”

Alright, enough of this Detroit nonsense.

Mine’s just like it and millions of others in the EU as well. We’re changing ours when they come up for renewal.

Overhere the renewal used to be 5 years IIRC, so all of the paper ones have vanished by now, that’s why they seem quite old fashioned to me.

Was it really 5 years? I got my (paper) license in 2001, and had to have it renewed (and thus replaced by plastic) a decade later.

Mine lasts until 2022 so I’ve a long wait yet!

Is that why they keep telling me to “give ‘er the D”?

“Mit freundlichen Grüßen”

German bureaucrats are both efficient AND friendly! So nice.

Also, that looks like it was signed by hand. Maybe Frau K. is looking for a new man?
