Is online renewal really always easier though? Last time I tried it, the system kept glitching out on me. Ended up wasting half a day troubleshooting before giving in and going to the DMV anyway...sometimes the old-school way is less hassle, weirdly enough.
I get what you mean about the online renewal thing being hit-or-miss. Did you try it on a weekend by any chance? Seems like every time I do something important online, it's always during some mysterious "system maintenance" window I didn't know existed, lol.
Honestly though, I've had pretty decent luck renewing online lately, but a couple years ago it was a total nightmare—similar situation, kept getting booted out halfway through. Ended up just driving down to the DMV, and surprisingly it only took like 30 minutes in person. Go figure, right?
Maybe the trick is timing? Like avoiding peak hours, or maybe certain browsers work better than others? Who knows...technology is supposed to make life easier, but sometimes the old ways have their perks.
Yeah, online renewals are convenient in theory, but they're still pretty glitchy sometimes. I usually avoid weekends entirely—seems like that's when everyone else is trying to do the same thing. Early weekday mornings have worked best for me. And honestly, as much as technology's supposed to speed things up, sometimes just going old-school and showing up at the DMV is less hassle overall...especially if you time it right. Guess some things never change, huh?
Early weekday mornings are definitely the sweet spot, that's for sure. But honestly, I've had some surprisingly smooth experiences going in person too—especially mid-month when fewer folks seem to be scrambling last-minute. I get the tech appeal, but sometimes old-school just works better. Ever noticed if certain DMV locations are consistently quicker than others? Might be worth driving a bit further if it saves an hour of your day...
"Might be worth driving a bit further if it saves an hour of your day..."
I dunno, sometimes driving further out can backfire—traffic, construction zones, or unfamiliar routes might end up costing you more time. I'd stick to the local spot and just pick your timing carefully... safer bet imo.
