People wait in line at the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles office in Northglenn.

I am an 81-year-old, 37-year resident of Colorado. One day in October, I visited the DMV office at Sixth Avenue and Sable Boulevard in Aurorato renew my Colorado driver’s license. My time in was 10:47 a.m. At 11:42 a.m., I was instructed to get in line. At 12:45 p.m., I finally reached the counter. Filing the paper work took about 10 minutes. Then it was sit and wait and get a photo made. At 1:40 p.m. I got my photo taken. At 1:57 p.m., I left with a renewed license. That’s 3 hours and 10 minutes of my life I will never get back.

After years of complaints and lip service, the renewal process has only gotten worse. It took my wife 2 hours and 15 minutes to renew hers last March. That is totally unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous.
