My parents just moved to Asheboro and bought a new car.

They paid 35000 for a van with a lift because Mom is in a wheelchair.
Now the van is ready, lift installed, check cashed, and NOW the dealer
tells them that until Dad gets his license in NC, he can't register the car.
You are not allowed to own a car in North Carolina unless you have a license.
WTF? So old people can't buy a car and outfit it to suit the needs of their
handicap, and then hire someone to drive it for them? That's what my Aunt
has to do in Maryland; she has elephantitis and has lost a leg to it so far.

In NC, to get a license you have to take even the driving test again. Here in Pa,
all I had to do was surrender my Maryland license. Dad's 82 and he's going to
be so nervous I don't know how he will pass. Mom can't get a license thanks to
a drunk driver who put her in a wheelchair and almost blinded her at the age of 60,
crushing her eye sockets with her dash board and he ran into her head on at 55 mph.

Dad doesn't drive far or often; just to a local diner for lunch. Often my sister drives
the van for him. Whenever there is another licensed driver going, Dad has them drive.
He's not dumb. But they do need to get from place to place and my sister can't always take
them. And when someone else drives, it is my parent's expense for car insurance, gas,
mileage, etc. So now they will have to what, get a cab that Mom can't even get into?

I'm sorry but I'm really hating on the south right now. At least they did manage to register
to vote; I was worried about that with the changes. Just that now, they won't be able to get
to the polls. My sister is a Jehovah Witness so she CAN'T drive them to vote.
