9/8     My Driver's Liscence is going to expire in less than 2 months.  I'd
        like to take care of it ASAP, because I'll be out of town/busy as
        the expiration date nears.  The DMV site says I can renew online if
        I'm eligible.  I can find out if I'm eligible by looking at my
        renewal notice.  When can I expect the renewal notice to arrive in
        the mail?
        \_ Time to slog down to the DMV. You should've received a notice
           to renew your license at least six months prior to the expiration.
           The renewal either got lost or the DMV fouled up and didn't
           send it to you. You need to either wait in line and get this
           cleared up (be prepared to wait a long time) or make an appointment
           and show up to get this cleared up. You do NOT want to take
           the driver test again.
        \_ I got my notice about 2 months before my birthday.  But you
           can always go in in person to have your driver's renewed
           without such notice.  Chances are, if you didn't have a
           moving violation in the past 3 years, you won't be asked to
           take a written test.
