"Feels like they're still using tech from the 90s sometimes."
Haha, seriously... last time I renewed mine online, the page froze halfway through. Honestly makes me nervous trusting important stuff to outdated systems. Glad you got it fixed without too much hassle though.
Yeah, totally get that. Last time I tried renewing mine online, the payment page glitched out twice—ended up double-checking my bank account just to make sure they didn't charge me twice. Do they even test these systems before rolling them out? Makes me wonder if it's safer just to bite the bullet and renew in person next time... anyone had better luck with that route lately?
Had a similar issue last year—online renewal was a mess, kept timing out. Ended up just going in person, and honestly, wasn't as bad as I expected. Waited maybe 20 mins tops, and the staff seemed pretty aware of the online glitches. They even joked about it, saying they're used to seeing frustrated faces from the website issues. So yeah, if you're worried about double charges or tech headaches, might be worth just heading down there. At least you know it's done right then and there... peace of mind counts for something.

Had almost the exact same experience a couple months back. Tried online first—kept getting errors, timeouts, you name it. Ended up just driving over there during lunch break. Honestly, wasn't bad at all. Staff knew exactly what was going on with the website and had me sorted in about 15 minutes flat. Sometimes tech just complicates things... easier to handle it face-to-face and move on.
Fair points, but honestly, face-to-face isn't always the smoothest option either. Last time I went in person, ended up stuck behind someone with a complicated issue—turned my quick errand into a 45-minute wait. Sure, online glitches are annoying, but at least you can multitask at home instead of staring at the back of someone's head. Guess it depends on your luck that day...
