Talk:Department of Motor Vehicles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

==DMV101.org==Department of Motor Vehicle Info for all 50 U.S. States.

This site which has just been added with this edit by 68.52.80.75 (talk • contribs) is the latest example of what in my own experience seems to be a growing trend in WP "External links" sections: Potemkin villages. Rl 08:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC) Rl 08:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

DMV101.org has just been added with this edit by 68.52.80.75 (talk • contribs) Although this website is still under construction as of 8 SEPT 05 it will bring informative DMV info on all 50 U.S. states to those wishing to save time. Drivers License, Automobile registration, Auto insurance and more info can be accessed at dmv101.org

To the anonymous IP user: Please do not delete legitimate criticism posted by editors. If you continue to do so, it will be construed as evidence of bad faith and you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Furthermore, please note that relatively few Internet users will be interested in a site edited by someone who cannot even spell "informative" or "automobile registration" properly. --Coolcaesar 02:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Ah ha. You fixed the spelling in your post. Very good. Now if you could only fix your lousy Web site! I hope your site is or will be legitimate, and not one of those Mafia-operated monsters that is designed primarily to emit viruses, backdoors, and Trojan horses (as a large number of poorly written Web sites seem to be nowadays). --Coolcaesar 03:10, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

No corporate big wigs or Mafia types here just an ordinary person trying to create something of good use. I surely wasn't looking to get slammed by you or any one else. As http://DMV101.org is still a work in progress please save your criticism until you view the finished product. As I surmize Coolcaesar must be involed with a competing site to bring such critical remarks.As to the scandalous remarks about viruses,and such that is just totally bogus.Also If you consider DMV101 to be so lousy eloborate such as I am open to allways improving dmv101.

[edit] DMV by mail

It says that now you can do most of the DMV business by mail. Doesn't that mean that now, instead of having to form long lines for hours to talk to an ineficient and humorless employee at the DMV, you get to form a long line and wait for hours to talk to a humorless employee at the Post Office? ;-)

Very funny (I'm being sarcastic). I don't know about your area, but most people in California just use public mailboxes (or the slots in the post office if they are afraid of mail thieves). Most states have increasingly shifted all the routine paperwork over to mail or online so that only the really important stuff like driving tests has to be done in person. --Coolcaesar 09:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

It was a joke... Dullfig

--Suggestion--

Could we maybe get like a history of the DMV (how is was founded and when...etc.)?

That could be kind of hard. I don't think any historians specialize in that area. Most historians of automobiles tend to specialize in manufacturers or inventors, and most historians of government tend to specialize in more glamorous agencies like the U.S. Department of Defense. --Coolcaesar 07:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
