Flightless Bird: DMV Pt II

2023-06-13 | 🔗
This week on Flightless Bird, David Farrier attempts to get over the trauma of his last trip to the DMV, where Monica Padman’s dirty Prius ruined everything. Will David finally get his license or are he and Monica doomed to fail for all eternity? To help him on his quest, Farrier talks to the head of the California DMV, Steve Gordon. Gordon was brought in four years ago by the governor of LA, Gavin Newsom, to sort out a DMV plagued by issues - and Farrier figures he might have some tips. Or, at the very least, clear up why LA driving licenses list your height and weight… and whether driving instructors want you to pass or fail.

I'm david ferrie in easy, Linda, accidently, marooned in america, and I want to figure out what makes this country check no one constant struggle to become more american. I've been attempting to get my american driver's license while making flightless bird decks. Moniker been helping me back stingy pass your driving test on the first try, the one I got warriors or was. I was a little cocky guy was driving with one hand and the were like ten and two- and I said I know, but real, but while Dex passed his driving The first time I did not rather ass, my new zealand driving test, the first time I did it decades ago, but when it came to doing it all over again here in the: u s, eye fails so, and this week's imbecile but I get back on the saddle nor into the driver's seat at least. with monica by my side. I attempt to get my license again. Along the way I meet steve, Gordon, the former civil.
in very hot shot, he's now in charge of making the californian deem the fastest, smarter the annoying. So still friends car and get ready to bribe your nearest driving examiner, because this is the dean. Thee To preserve birds fly their heads down, we're back we're back back has taken a long time to get back a really long time. Yeah, I feel like after the failure, which was there is a saying, oh, my god, I mean it was someone's. I was sorry for it, a summons false. Wasn't it that's, also an app
I mean what are your memories of the time we went. I think it was a lot of people's fall, mainly someone who tax you and says hey I think you out. It was really kind of you to have anything that I need to bring yeah yeah yeah. When I say I said nothing just bring you and the guy. There are a lot of things. It should bring, and that created a lot of initial stress. The ornaments of failure. Does your cause lack of ability to hug that's right? That was the main problem. It's, but we all we live and we learn anything kinder. I often think about chaos. Theory when it comes to things like this will, like all the little things leading up to this one of it and why led to the failure in what was it really could be the bag sitting? Some, in your cause, honking making You know the hunk. I could be the bugs fault,
We don't know, will never know that's kind of nice, a sort of relinquishing control before we get into the sequel to the envy part one. Have you got any good driving stories Barely any some experiences are missing thinking a lot about driving in america and what it means also going to states about where the most dangerous places out a drive. First, I got into the collision digest, wish the californian dimly puts out, let's just how many people colliding cause without a whole die just amount ideas to enter in june nineteen, three thousand seven hundred and thirty seven people died in california from car related deaths. What about twenty? Twenty because pandemic? I'm curious! How that I don't have any figures in front of me. It was a drop from twenty eight june. I do have from forbes the most dangerous places to drive in america as dangerous states. South billina while takes us arkansas louisiana and north carolina wow.
the most high risk places to drive the tribute ineffective, just more rewards swiss stringent safety laws and lower income levels. Well, that's very interesting because none of those places are the places with the most traffic which I would have rejected. And those would add up. The most traffic would add up to the most. I was thinking los angeles. Surely their deaths are out of control, that's just because there's so many cars here when you factored in with population percentage. What percentage? What have you driven in texas before I've, driven in Austin, a tiny bit? It's weird going from city or state to state, seeing the different styles of driving like it's definitely different, driving in chicago than texas and driving in l, a even chicago there's, a level of,
it smarts that you're expected to have as a driver but you'll let someone in as long as they're not going to be slow, yeah nas, but in like texas, good luck, changing lanes! No one will let you in when I was doing the barbecue episode and we started getting. Out of austin more and was still very enough. Simba away from the hub drivers were driving aggressively. He fast like people just hoon and go for a ride. Then I lay people. I guess I more aware I figure less aware less away. He was intentional, not when you feel it exactly, and I also think because there is so much traffic. You can't go that fast. Because there were things just said: a grand like half year completely, please get into the fund there. Ok, She may getting my drivers, I I a mean the solo be very triggering few monica, but it's gonna come back, we're gonna fight, I feel it. As you may recall, from our first deem the episode back on February. Twenty first things didn't go.
so well. Calling me back over look to cut a long story. Short monica horn didn't work no horn and was no horn. I'm not even allowed to leave the lot it turns out. This test was like my first sexual experience. After all practically over before it had really even started, it was a message. At the end of the day, your car was a failure the hand article mechanical failure, Monica dirty pressing, is faulty horn. Let me down, I dont, go well with failure, so did not bring myself to rebook. My taste I went back to walking, bring in pestering my friends for rights that is until a few months ago. I take him Like her. I think I'm ready to try again when you free. She go some dates and I booked a new tasted, the dean vague at which point monica No, no, I gave you the wrong dates: mom, not free after rebuking there.
Rebook test the day, had finally arrived back to the dna. There were nine, a m and monica message me saying she was outside the chill went down my spine, so it's on the side. So this is a word no! No on the side of the car. He had seen them yet fancy yap I know so. Your we're gonna have to learn some stuff right now. Hurry recording we're, ok I was shocked to find that monitors white previous months, rounded unrecognizable by too much dust was nowhere to be seen. She'd brow our chariots her mercedes and this, car was unlike anything or driven in before, as also on this side. Everything's, like some pulled that current can you can visit? Ok, yeah yeah ok, so this is what happens. You know a modern alike menu
european cause ever things on the wrong side which- the right side of your new zealand, but I've been in america. So long feels foreign again sunk into this wash lay the seat. I wondered. What had become of monica is cute little prayers yesterday you decide that you wanted to take the press after part, one. You fell loyal and I thought you know it it's gonna go through the finnish line this morning wake up. I gotta get the key. Now key! Ok! Ha! That's that's curious! Maybe it's at the christian adopts this house! Maybe why I have no idea, but me You be hollywood. I thought full swing, isn't six parties who was no surprise kind he's had been left in someone else's house. Who knows I gone on the previous sweetie los angeles night, so I go to the mercedes. I think this is probably going to be what it is in its a mass. So again darling,
in the trunk? Do you think they'll look in the trunk hollow worried about that? I, through everything in the trunk, then they go to their house. I did find the key it was there. I walk up to the press, gay, it's pretty clean and I click the button. Doesnt work. I think. Oh no, maybe the key battery is just dead. That's fine! Are they going to be bad at that? I don't know what I'll use it manually I get in the car completely dead. It's a dead car so now here we are in sadie's am this. Car is fuckin, high tech is high, chick I pressed the button to turn it on who needs keys and twenty twenty three and suddenly the sea bout titans around me on its own, possessed now here's the thing David, you get in it. Does this weird thing we're? it moves on its own and then the seat belt like
yet sucks you an answer you might have to readjust. That's. Ok as though like seeing you, then I I feel panicky in this new car, but I try and play a coup around monica deal. I really like this. My one slight problem is that I don't have a lot of awareness I how long it is or like where I am. I feel like I'm in a bit of an alien craft yeah I get that. I still feel that way and so the pact on the street and the eldest son and monica too show me where all the buttons I I guess we just need to find the parking break they might make you do the wind shields on the wider yeah, so pressing it in his part, so put your foot on they get there like start driving time, he's gonna, throw it down to dry and these are the flash yourself refreshes, I'm slightly taller than monica. So just my mom
is using it another confusing button? I think it's a yeah okay for sending that spinning for spinny for cine as time to go back to the dmv or we'll miss our appointment to pocket, yeah, precedent, good and then foot on the brake head. Perfect, reverse! Yes, okay, okay, you got so fast. Dear Greg monica gives encouragement, as I put the car and drive and take off she's in a good mood, sofa, probably feeling we'll see about last time now she should and will need a packed his heart in to make sure our long ago yea backwards. If it hey return, you got it. You know what makes the situation occurs when you keep saying it, so you really got it fast. I'm proud of you monica being almost two positive. I feel like a baby. He being congratulated for finding using the potty good job.
wow yep wow. That was great. As we drive along crowded our streets, I notice and monica does tat sounding a bit cranky, possibly some, to do with the state of my driving. Oh, my god, I can do one. I can it's not as bad as the parking brakes on. I think I can do something you have to put your foot on the brake. Therefore, on the break, my foot was on the brake resting on the brake. At least I am always ready to break as any good. drivers should. I grew up with a not chill energy like if my mom or dad was taking me. It wouldn't have been chill and I would have been angry like I need to chill a lot of things do pass down.
you don't want them to stir you're, not going the right way. It says it should be going on, Finally, zooming along franklin, I feel a burst of confidence, american confidence unbridled by the nagging new zealander inside me. He's always telling me I'm a massive failure during that time, practicing parking again wow super confident. Are we going to get coffee? Are you gonna drive a stick There's no time for coffee monica. Maybe that was a mistake last time acting too casual about it. All the tests fifteen minutes, I put my foot on the gas, my people to the meadow if you're on the highway. Do you know you're supposed to be like if you're going eighty, miles an hour. You're supposed to be eight cars with behind didn't know that okay, well moniker, is full of advice. after last time.
Sure how much I should trust her. Would this be a twenty five or thirty five? it's weird right. I think it's a thirty five. But honestly, I will just air era authority. Some again I get it marvin nervous that I'm saying things that are just rules of the road, but now The rules of monarch has been swimming. keys with the neighbors getting up to who knows what kind of lead behavior I recounted the stresses of my evening. I went to bed at about eleven o clock. and then I started thinking about do. I know things, I need to know doin speed limits. So then I didn't inside I've been checked. What is it in a residential zone? What is on a freeway? I learned those things and then, if and takes it means it? Do you know that you have to know how to manually side
which way you're going. If your indicated start working had no idea wow, so I found out those hand, signals I've got those now and then I just started worrying like I thought god what happened last time, and I thought it was a disaster. Wasn't it and I thought this there's monica you got this down because he told briefly yesterday. I thought dingy chick the previous last night before the day. Oh, she leave it to the first thing just before she goes to pick me up until now, you wouldn't do that. She wondered checked yesterday. I did this morning when I couldn't find the key. I thought I ve turned into my brother. This is how my brother, you still get ready for school and stuff, and I couldn't believe it was a just check. The night before to make sure you have your stuff. I don't understand, It's me now, genetic swirl little bit family oda related as we ramble on pedestrian appears, a grey up,
unity to test the brakes breaks out. Well, they weren't you I realize, are still quite far away from the deem they have taken wrong turns, but thankfully is allowed, did you get used to this new car double checking? I have registration and expires twenty twenty three. That's right, insurance, mercedes, not press! Ok, we fixed all our wrong, but Jesus in ten minutes. What could go wrong? alright to hollywood land united, get there no I come drawing us out like a sort marvel series of films I agree with everything in marvel. It's really say: let us sit up when we back to sit up again, I feel south.
Read as you were asterisk, it's a thing when you, your audio, is taken from my connective situation in edited together and your man you're living in milan. Yes, manipulable, you ve, totally live. I didn't work. I want clear and thing. Ok, you do give me dates. I said have at this day then later I said oh shit, I might be out of town. I thought. Maybe I ll come back or something and then you said well, I can always change it and wait to change it, but maybe I might need you to, but then I didn't It wasn't an issue you didn't have to change it there. I was being a bit dramatic. They're not remain a little bit dramatic yeah well. This is all part of your narrative to make me seem high maintenance, which you know is a thing and I mean, what's as mayor, I listen back, which I hadn't heard at the time was how you were treating me like a big baby and just like a boy good
like a job down, was really incredible. I love there and then yeah, but as expected, when I'm suddenly driving in this car I'd, never driven. You are just a bit more on edge, which is natural. Maybe your love. Language is not words of affirmation, maybe that's how you here love, because that's what I was trying to do free, and I appreciate and again you were the only one that would take me out for my dear sir, I'm really I'm really grateful and eventually some nervous. We got back into it we are not allowed to record inside the de envy, and so you can hear the bit where a deity staff member requested monica registration and monica pulled out the wrong one. My thought process when she said to me, the registrations. Expired was fact this. I'm getting someone else to do next. I understand I understand. I understand that I take
back now? It's all under control, I mean what's upsetting is by pulled the wrong card: the wrong registry. I have the right registration, but I described just for fun like us so nervous about the lesser feeling extra nervous. Because of last time, I think that's, why, like we're primed, so when she said you have the thing I didn't even think, like: oh yeah, probably have it actually, where it's supposed to be EU interests to panic stations. Look, I don't quite understand what happens, but the problems now sorted. We back sitting in the car, ready to poland to the tests line by armpits and forehead deorbit sway now. I know something that you did with the one that you disposed of. Is that you flying it in the back seat. You didn't put it in the bin. If anything, you didn't throw it away per se. You just put it in your back seat area and that's why your car thing is always just full of shit. Then this part, though so it's
trash area because ass personal information on it, so I want to dispose of it properly. I dont want to just throw in the general garbage? That's something you shouldn't shredder america. People will steal your identity, identity theft, my god and other flightless brody beside coming up. What is here as I love a rainy suggests wedding, a little there I have said that said, I clapped before, which is the true sign that I'm stressed out. Anna get clammy hands, I've got clammy hands still, and I've got less sweaty armpits, some better seven out of ten with entirely my mouth gonna bet dry, oh I had to give a speech school once when I was fourteen and my mouth so dry. All you could hear at the I Does your mouth go dry when you're scared? What good survival instinct is that
Oh that's interesting, maybe or bodies just trying to retain water five years ago. My mouth would have been dry because I was in a cave hide. From the sun, nor a safer to tiger now is dry because waiting for my second attempt, the the now accused of not interviewing enough experts for the show citizens the critics I've gone straight to the top. Getting Steve gordon on the line stephen The director of the state of california department and motor vehicles he's the big cheese, the top dog he whispered. in four years ago by the governor valet given newsome to sort out in the play by issues misuse like six our weight times would you say: is the department of motor vehicles is doing the best in america? Do you have a call on that? Can you make it? You know I dunno if I have a good bird's eye view into every state and every jurisdiction, but I like to think we're in the top four
If, if we're not in the top of the talk, but I've got some really great peers, they really understand the statutory framework. Each state is very different about what they do and what they don't do. In california, I have drivers licenses and vehicle registration. Some of my peers have just the driver, so it'll have just the vehicles, but I'd like to think from talking with my peers were in that top ten percent, if not even higher than that, he would say that but you know what I trust him since becoming boss he's put a lot of the annoying standing in line staff at the deem the online and white times have plummeted. We took that from twenty eight minutes. Sure, o under ten minutes and re, what have you take that out into the field and essentially almost tripled jody. By going from twenty eight to ten minute for realising transactions and all of a sudden the lines for them, Transactions went down dramatically and now it runs routinely about eight minutes for a transaction, sometimes even in seven. That, although I mean look when also identify look at all the things that gun,
at the daily services, very rare that I need to go to the office. As I mentioned before. The other fellow baby, you can see this but he's just pulled a phone out, that's everything. So I can renew my registration. I could buy a car I can transfer a title. I can do it all on a mobile device and even on our ivy r, if you want to call us and go through those same steps, so there's really no reason to visit the office but, of course for some things you have to visit the office like me, right now panicking. Whether I get a kind or a mean dmv examiner, as having debates with my friend about whether the person taking you out for your license really wants you to get. It is on your side or if this is a special, without really putting you through the ring up and don't want you to get that license and pay again and come back yeah I think there is any merit to wear this is our revenue point is how to be weakened. Fails, allow a pagan first, taking your task to get. You don't have to pick up a be silly for us too.
Our experiences when people around you thought no one in their right mind would do that and as people fairly one the driver in the chest, and what's that we are preparing a member. There is listened to your point. Guessing the other horn wasn't work on a car and it's fun, I want to our man said yourself: what do we say about that make sure your onward jagger about was on ass. Definitely yeah that great, I'm glad you watched the carpet, it don't talk about having visibility through the windows, but I don't think car licence. Registration examiners are trying to get people to fail. I think they're trying to make sure that people followed the rules they turn left. They turn right. They back that they do. The things are supposed to do and to do them safely and consistently with safe driving. Steve tells me the close to three quarters of LOS angeles drive is passed their driving test when I make it three What is in one time to find out good, like semi? Thank you.
examined, his boucher moniker out of her own car I hand her my microphone issued. She departs I feel naked without it. Like me, the instructors confused by monica fancy car seats. So I helped us with the buttons to get comfortable and then I'm off. Listen like a hawk to what I'm told to do gently pulling out parking lot. I signal I'm turning right cheek, both ways, it's all clear and if I go monica weights, ok, so that was really bad because he had kind of said a pedestrian and the guy saw she's, not joking. may, at least I think she is that's funny, listen actor alone and the car park with mike
on the action she sees in front of her the deal, the parking lot. I'm scared that guy seems me in anger- is cross for semi caught the card. The courage is made a bad sound, I'm walking away. I cannot watch this. I've been waiting a while, and I have not seen David come Meanwhile, I'm out doing my test on total turn left him to turn right up ahead change lanes the exam commands me like her peers, poodle and I play along notice she's, making a lot of notes on her pad the whole time. Stating to be directed off these residential streets and onto the freeway. But after,
This turns and lane changes there is no free way or parallel packing in this test, back to the de envy it's over. I think I see that applying and my cat the testers getting out of the car. I see her. Oh, my god. This is so nerve racking. She stands and his window there talking for a long time, which makes me pretty nervous he still in the car. Oh my god, she's doing weird gesturing, although she's nodding a lot that seems good It's hard to be a mom. Eventually, the examiner allows me to leave the car and I walked. Is it a monica who looks in
credibly worried what happened? What's your take, what do you believe happened only about your experience. What are you waiting for me? Ok, I was really nervous at first because it took you will wildly even come out, and so I I got anxious about that and then is a little word because that he always had a pedestrian. Not so she was talking about me earlier, don't even see it the austrian knobs, but then I saw you pull out like okay. This is great. Things are going gray and then I was like it's. I'm too long, but I dont know how long it is supposed to be what happened I'll say that I pass all my guy that
I think my instructor was a good one. She was kind she was a primary school teacher, but then the pandemic happened and she had to shift into taking people at me out yet their driving test, my god, that's so sweet. But I didn't want to say that you can get a maximum of fifteen things wrong and I got fourteen things wrong sign of your love. How do you now is very as together over a year to do this are put it off so many times. We had that huge failure last time- and I have you to thank for that because you ve been here every step of the way through the failures and passes. She was hogging. You first saw law, I'm so happy. It's another months into my license, arrives when it does Here the letter from the day in the open and proudly hold out my brand new licence steering
beckoned me as the most truly deranged photo. They took a deep vein. I'm ready faced my face of one key, am I here is poking out all over the place. I look almost exactly like Charles manson. I'm so shocked by what I see I get deem boss, Steve Gordon back on the line. Is the effort and your vision for the future, the dmv to improve the cameras or have sort of ringlets available and get people talking about my lamb or is the license photo charlie when whatever country from just gonna, beat us reoccurring, namely that we all live with. Well, I wouldn't go so far as they give us a surprisingly. My last promising spiral. And how great oh lucky for you, you have a nice face. That's good! Thank you for that. I know this is an issue with some folks. We would love to at some point we're not there today, but with a us passport. For example, you can take your own photo and you could submit your photos so we're constantly trying to figure out. Can we use a similar approach, but we're sold?
walk away from that I, like my phone. I'm sorry your internet. Well, what are you telling me? I think, as it is more my faces pho than the dim these cameras and fair enough, my face is definitely partially There was another strange thing I noticed on my license, something would never happen back in new zealand, something I found fascinating about. The california license lists my weight and my height on there, which is something that we don't have in new zealand. I was curious about the reason for that not every jurisdiction is different. I mean there are requirements for us to be able to identify somebody, and I think those requirements are fairly broad. So it's a great question. In essence, you have a height weight, along with your photo hair, color eye color, or all of these factors has tried to identify you, but I'm sure that the law was somewhat nonspecific, so people said about height and weight and how they do to them. I can't speak to him. You probably know it's probably different across the. U s, it varies
I have been licensing. Is a state thing. It's very low final question: did you pass your driving test? The first time you took it? That was a long time ago, and I passed both written and driving tests. Yes, on the first time on the day that I turned sixty progress straight out the door straight into that kind of true american, very american experience. Yes I thank Steve and I let him go. I have to say Apart from my own competence, my experience of the american de inv was a good one. the nightmare. Six, our white times of your were long gone and, as I go answer my license. Irene. I won't be long before, I'm back there again, My shiny new licence expires in exactly one year. An array a case of government means talking to each other, dean, thee must have been talking to immigration, because my driver's license expires exactly the same time. That my visa runs out america it's a country, this always playing hard to get.
There's some stability here better the time limit, determined america you're, not gonna, get rid of me. easily one year back again found bank. For my I to do probably just sign a bit of paper or some five years on the road again part three yeah we're gonna do prolong the theory. That was a ride. Right. You know, I want to confess something to you, please, when we got back in the car after the kind of registration, almost issue that wasn't an issue and that it was ok- and you said, as you kept in the stock- I thought fuck, this, I'm brain somebody allow monitor yeah, I'm done with that. All was upsetting or not
Liar I know why that was your thought process. As I understand it, intellectually met this woman incompetent, and this is the second time she's. Let me down by it did her mind. I know that it's safer isa and I am sorry because I don't want to hurt your feelings in uniting out in my name and a future episode If you don't at the moment, I revisit roosevelt, who I crack the egg on ahead and I try and get some closure on that for her and for me it also created more of an issue in her life than I knew and what I've learned from what you've just said just now and and roosevelt. Sometimes your actions and words consequences. I'm just revisiting a lot of the things I've said to people thinking what impact did that have on them at the time. I wonder what you have to have a little. He learned it wasn't me. by then elicited some
did. I think it made me feel I could just as easily be card on that roof, Monica never never discouraged. Well, the next time you will you bring somebody out, but you know what together I've been putting this off for years now, and I finally have I have my californian driver's license it. You got that handsome man, wow wow, oh wow there and I've got it for a whole year, and I use that about you the night she had to get in, I'm going to bars now for what now what here or on the town you're gonna try your new wall when you, while I'm LISA, a car here now, which is another thing you don't really least new zealand, but I didn't want to buy and because of the payment clean. You can have a car and I'm
having been able to drive around california was really good. What are you looking at me? I think it's cool. Is this your signature? Is this our signature down here? Certainly a year raised embossed at la others. Go it's all, sir. My real idee now, which america's obviously rolling out zion uses to view need it to get on planes and stuff to fly around. I got my real idee now, yes, I have a real old as yeah yeah yeah says the limited time on a limited, sir. Yes, I bet it. It was when I saw that actually was a reminder that, as home as I feel here, sometimes america is really had to like keep a grip on it, because I gotta three a visa with you guys. I could work with you once it runs out. I've got to apply again to immigrants in resubmit paperwork and is up to them ultimately and also least the back on the back the whole time. very well. I don't wanna be caught up in any crime or anything not longing to be
crime, but I'm always aware I can't be caught doing anything else. I don't like and walking the street with a glass of wine or something like that. We're a museum- and I might be it's fine here- I'm like if I Nothing like that that all the fix whither I get this again crazy when you like shit back to new zealand. So then, why are you going to all these bars and acting reckless? I'm just gone crazy sites such as id having an iD oh mike, MIKE Mike Levin.
