the “good” and “bad” news. Yes, I
had passed the written test, but had
ALMOST flunked “picture.” A few
weeks later my license arrived and
it looked as it I was now finished
with the DMV and the humiliation
that went with it. No such luck! I
received a letter from these won-
derful state officials telling me that
because of some numbers on the
back of my license, I would have
to make an appointment to go back
to the Fullerton office! I quickly
turned my card over and saw “13”
which stated “Area Restriction.”
I could only use my “Class A”
license on Catalina Island. The
other number stumped me. “50.”
It stated “Customized Restrictions
On File—Contact DMV.” What the
heck did that mean? I made an
appointment and showed up to have
this matter cleared up. I showed this
letter to the examiner and asked her
for clarification. She had a puzzled
look and took my license. She told

in “the book.” She went to a back
room. Now, I am probably a bit
paranoid by this time, but I swear
I saw every surveillance camera in
the DMV point directly at me and
I heard laughter coming from the
back room! I am sure I saw people
peeking at me :hrough a crack in
the door! A few moments later she
came back to the desk and informed
me, “I am sorry, but there is no such
code number ‘50! ’ There must be
some mistake!”
I must thank Ron Louder, Eric
Cederwall, and Janie Eisenhut for
training me to drive the big rigs,
although I only did it for two years.
