Had the same issue last month—tried midnight, early morning, nothing worked. Weirdly enough, switching browsers helped me... Chrome kept freezing, but Firefox sailed right through. DMV websites are just cursed, I swear.

Haha, seriously feels that way sometimes... Glad switching browsers worked for you though. Honestly, DMV sites always seem overloaded or glitchy—probably outdated servers or something. When I renewed mine, I double-checked everything twice before submitting (force of habit from plumbing—measure twice, cut once, right?). Anyway, hang in there; once you're through this hassle, you're good for a few years at least.
Honestly, I found the DMV site pretty manageable once I figured out their weird quirks. If you're still having trouble, try renewing through their mobile app instead—it's surprisingly smoother and less glitchy. Just make sure your phone's updated first, or it'll crash halfway through (learned that one the hard way...). Once you get past the initial setup, it's straightforward enough to finish in a few minutes. Good luck!

The DMV app worked okay for me too, but honestly, I still prefer the kiosk at my local grocery store. No glitches, no updates needed—just scan your license, swipe your card, and done in less than 5 mins. Worth checking if there's one near you.

That's good to hear, actually. I've been hesitant about the kiosk option because I wasn't sure how user-friendly they were. The app setup was a bit tedious for me too, but once I figured it out, it was smooth sailing. Maybe next renewal I'll give the kiosk a shot... sounds even simpler. Thanks for sharing your experience!
