I am eligible to take part in Illinois's Safe Driver Sticker Renewal Program. Or so says the notice I got from the Secretary of State's Office. I guess this means that instead of going to the driver's license place, I get to simply pay online and get a sticker to put on my old license.
But wait.
There are several restrictions and I am not eligible if any of several statements pertain to me. For example, I am not eligible if my driver's license has been revoked, or being held by court in lieu of bail, or if I have any condition that might cause a temporary loss of consciousness. In addition, you do not qualify if:
"Your legal name or gender has changed or you have lost your driver's license."
Perhaps it's just me, but the change of legal name or losing a license shouldn't be grouped in the same category as a gender change. That's kinda a biggie . . . so much so that it might just need it's own category.

Personally, I always thought the 'qualification' that you haven't lost your driving privileges is the most laughable part for not being able to renew online. Should these people even be getting a notification for renewal?
The whole "who's driving and who isn't driving" thing is kinda scary. My father is 86 and probably should not be driving around the block, but does. A friend I went to high school, is an attorney out by Washington DC, has never even bothered to get a driver's license. Bring back better public transportation!!
This isn't your "coming out" post about a gender change, is it?
