I renewed my driver’s licence today. Which means no more ‘P’ plates! Well…not until the 29th of September. But I have the card to prove it.
I was going to do it yesterday. So I had a shower, shaved (the tiny amount of hair on my face from a week’s growth) and put on a nice shirt ready to go get
a photo that was going to last me 10 years. I wanted it to be good. Anyway, so I got there ‘just in time’ at 4:55pm.
Oh, why thank you VicRoads! We close at 4:30. Oh well…
So I went back this morning, with much less effort. Got straight to a person at the desk and did it all with in 10 minutes.
I was quite entertained when I noticed the girl at the desk laugh at my photo moments before handed me my licence. I don’t think she knew,
let alone cared that I saw her laugh. But anyway… here is what I got:
I thought I would also add my P’s and Learner’s Permit photos just for a comparison of me. Just look at how I’ve changed… if at all.
You can tell that I had braces at this stage, which is why I wouldn’t open my mouth to smile. What a disappointment. I can’t now look back and admire my shiny teeth.
You look al dente!
Nice one man. The only thing that’s changed is the amount of hair you were sporting. The next one, you’ll have a widows peak, and the fourth one, a bald patch and jowls. The bastards at Vic Roads just sent me my licence when the time was right, with my P plater photo as the photo. So I look 18 on my licence even now, and unlike you, there is a difference between me at 21 and me at 18.
For the record, I actually checked this blog, I don’t have a wordpress alert thing.
Welcome back to WordPress, Steve! I’ve checked your blog about 50 times since your e-tax post, so I was surprised and delighted to see your new entries.
I like your new driver’s license photo. You look very nice and non-pedophile-y, which I reckon is a good thing. Means you can get away w/ stuff and noone will ever suspect you.
I look slightly Asian in the Learner’s one.
