Driver License Weight

Oh, man. Mine hadn't been updated in ages. Every time I went in for a renewal they just filled in whatever it said before instead of asking me. Meanwhile I kept getting larger. I never thought it was a huge (hah) deal until the last time, when I got the DOL's Overachiever of the Year who actually asked what my weight was. I told him the truth, that I didn't know because at the time I didn't own a scale. This set him off big time and he gave me a loud, rude, condescending lecture about how it had to be accurate because if I was in an accident, first responders would look at my license to determine how much I weighed so they'd know how to medicate me. He was adamant about this. I left in tears.
Now I'm smaller than the estimate he humiliated me into making, so I feel I got the last laugh.0 -

License renewal is a dull job. If the workers realised their jobs are mostly a waste of taxpayer money, they'd hate their jobs and the public even more than they do now.
Get rid of height and weight.
Make it last until the driver is 70 years old.
Make it so the police have to give you 5 days notice if they want to see it.0 -
I am officially under my weight as well...I'm surprised they let me say cause on my license it says 250, but at the time of my picture I was around 305 lbs.. I guess it goes to show that once people get around 250 or 300 lbs it is harder for other people to estimate,..0

wow, did i ever love that feeling the first time. another great moment was when a store asked me for a second ID because i looked nothing like my license photo; the cashier actually called a manager. i cheerfully explained that i'd lost more than 100 pounds. that was awesome.0

LOL this thread is funny. My goal weight is actually my drivers license weight. I've never changed my weight ever since I got my first license at 16 (12 years ago) lol. At my heaviest last year I was 198. Now I'm 170 and my license weight says 140.0

That is great!
I had to renew my drivers license in September. For the first time since I have had my license, I put down my true weight. Now, 4 weeks later, my weight is wrong again, but this time it is over my true weight. Hopefully, next time I renew it, I will be able to list my goal weight.0 -
I just got my permit and lied about my weight. :P I have 24 pounds before I get there, but I've been at the weight before and know I'll be there in a few months.0

The last time I flew was in August (to visit a fellow MFPer!) Anyway, the TSA agent looked at my license, looked at me, looked at my license again and said, "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight!" While I appreciated the comment, I was getting a little worried that she wouldn't let me through security. I'm thinking I may take my passport with me on my next trip since that picture is much more current.0

I went to get my passport recently and when the clerk looked at my DL, she said "Wow! You've lost weight!" I wanted to hug her, but I thought that might be inappropriate. In 90 more pounds, I just hope I can still use both IDs.0

My pic was at 282, I told them 232, and now I'm 182...and NO ONE has ever questioned it. Not that I use it often, but COME ON! LOL0

When you turn 21 here you get a different license (or at least you did when I turned 21). My weight listed hasn't changed since then. It'll be awhile until I get back down there but OH BOY am I looking forward to it!0
-
I lied on mine too - I was probably 20 pounds heavier than it says. Now I weigh 40 pounds less than my license weight! I think it's common. I just didn't like telling people how much I weighed .0
-
YAHOO! That is fantastic!
My goal is my driver's license weight as well! Can't imagine going below it!
TRUE Story: I asked at the DMV if I could be charged with anything for stating the wrong weight! Nope. Ok, I said. Lie and keep it the same please!!!!0 -
I never look at my license. It's face side down in my wallet so I don't have to see the horrific picture every time I open it. I just looked at it because I have no idea what the weight was on there. Apparently I'm a delusional liar, because I would be lucky to ever weigh my listed weight!0
-
LOL My Christmas goal is to be within 5 lbs of my DL weight of 170. First time in like...oh....(let me do the math here)....
at least 18 years.
ATM I am about 15lbs heavier than my license at 185 lbs.
If I can get below? OMG
BEST XMAS EVAH!!!!0 -
My reward when I get to my final weight is to go in and get a new Driver's License. New photo, new weight!0
-
I cant wait to get to my DL weight!0

They don't list weight on a New York drivers license. I'm not really sure what the point would be to list that considering it's just not a valid way to identify a large percentage of the population who isn't consistent in their weight.0
-
Well, Well, I upped mine this year to 220 from 175 since high school. But between me and MFP I'm 250ish LOL
Next time I'm sticking to my goal weight on my license!0
