Driver's licenses

I have to say that besides the fact that the drivers license office doesn't take cash, it also seems really silly that we have to do this every 4 years. While I'm glad some people have to come in every 4 years and take an eye test, I think Arizona has a good model - it's something like you get a license at 16 which expires at 18, and then expires again at 21...and after that, it doesn't expire until you're 65, then you have to renew every 4 years (that might not be quite right but it's the basic idea). Paying $26 every 4 years and having to take half an hour or longer to stand in line, just to get a new card, just seems like a waste of time and resources for everyone.

End of rant.
