North Dakota drivers license offices temporarily closing

[TexasTowelie]

BISMARCK -- All drivers license offices in North Dakota will be temporarily closed Tuesday, Sept. 26, through Thursday, Sept. 28.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation announced the closures last week, saying it will allow employees to get required annual training. One license site in Bismarck will be open 7:30 to 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, but all others in the state, including in Fargo, will be closed.

Normal business hours will resume Friday, Sept. 29, and motor vehicle offices will remain open.

North Dakota residents between 21 and 65 who have previously renewed in-person after turning 21 can renew their license online. For more information, visit https://apps.nd.gov/dot/dlts/dlos/renewal/welcome.htm.

1. Renewing on line is such a good idea.

Not.

Don't know if they still do it, but when I lived in Kansas you had to retake the written exam at every renewal. They'd mail a copy of the test and the test booklet so you could fill it out ahead of time. I would do it while standing in line. Any question I wasn't totally certain of I'd look up. It was honestly a good thing to be reminded of the rules of the road every so often.

And not needing to take a vision test is insane. No wonder there are so many legally blind people out there driving.
