The D.C. DMV: Now Accepting Reservations

20080630-dmv.jpgON A HOT, STICKY afternoon, one of the most miserable places in the District to be is in your car inching ever so slowly toward the city's only automobile inspection stations.

Some drivers head in early or take time off work to avoid the brain-scrambling wait. But a new automated appointment system on the DMV's Web site could let you skip to the front of the line.

Reports WTOP's Mark Seagraves:

A link on the District's DMV Web site lets you make a reservation, print a confirmation and present the confirmation on the day of the appointment.

"We will bring that customer and bring him in front of all the other waiting customers," says Gregory Simpson, the inspection station manager.

I can only imagine how popular the folks who zip to the front of the line would be with the frustrated hordes waiting in the exhaust-filled haze.
