You could probably make a case against car license plates too! At one
time, you could get used to the pattern in a state. which facilitated
reading quickly. It's much more complicated now in my state of MD. We have
ABC123, 1AB C23, 123M456, M12345, vanity plates, private organizational
plates like UMD 1234 and I don't know what else. They don't even issue new
plates unless you ask for them or, sometimes, buy a new car but it's a
healthy hunk of change each year for the little plastic sticker!

Yes, license plates, stickers and registrations are a much better example of
fiscal greed than are driver licenses. I suppose the original poster may be
sour-grapes because s/he had a license revoked and probably for good reason.

Typical Ad Hominem responce. Instead of discussing the issue at hand,
you'd rather discuss your suppositions about the writer.

Ad Hominems are a sign of mental sloth behavior.
