No Longer a Kansas Girl
Posted in The Life of the Historian and tagged with Kansas, North Carolina on February 26, 2008
Today I heard for the last time, “So which one of these is your first name?” Yes, I traded in my Kansas driver’s license with it’s last-name-first-without-comma for a North Carolina driver’s license.Honestly, I was kinda nervous about all this. It was difficult coming up with all the documents required to verify that, yes, I do have insurance, and yes, I am a resident of North Carolina. I also knew that I might be required to taking a driving test, something I’ve never done before.
They liked all my documents just fine (except for the Kansas license that always gives trouble), and no driving test was required. I’m very thankful!
The only questions I missed was the sign for “do not pass” (conveniently did not contain the words…and no, I don’t see that sign regularly in my city driving) and the questions about the state’s DWI policies. I don’t drink, so I didn’t bother reading the section of my driver’s booklet dealing with it.
So, I’ve learned that North Carolina doesn’t like people who pass illegally or drive drunk. Got it.

So does this mean you’re going to change your blog title?
Also, you’ve never taken a driver’s test before? How did you get away with that?
