     If the cop had been a blonde female, the blonde female driver would've   
   handed her a makeup mirror instead of her drivers license. Then, the cop   
   would've said "I didn't realize you were a police officer as well...I'm   
   sorry for pulling you over. You can go on your way".

     One time, I had gone in on my birthday, and they wanted me to take the   
   vision test without my glasses. I told them that "it explicitly says   
   'corrective lenses' on here", and said "I have to have the glasses on for   
   the vision test (they check vision ahead and peripheral vision). Another   
   time, they were going to grant the license without that restriction, and   
   I complained vociferously.   
      
     Nowadays, I just need reading glasses...although I'm currently dealing   
   with astigmatism in the right eye. At least my drivers license doesn't   
   expire until 2027.
