couldn't get in to a bar because my license is expired?

[bothered]

The bouncer at a bar I tried to go to wouldn't let me in...he said it was because my license is expired by more than 30 days. Was he just BSing me, or is that a legitimate reason?

WTF are you doing with an expired license.

 

[Crucial]

I call shenanigans. What does it matter It's not like your B-day changes because it expired.

People usually get their licenses renewed

Isn't the requirement (for a bar owner) that all patrons have valid ID in their possession?
The answer is "YES".
An expired DL is not valid.
You're still driving on that License? If you get in an accident, your insurance company can legally abandon you.

They usually send you a notice way in advance of it expiring.

too true

at my job,if caught driving with an expired license,its grounds for termination,
also if someone loses license,{dwi etc.}\
you have to inform them,and either go to a non-drivng job,IF any open,or take a leave of absence/or lose job.

CA has not sent notices for expirations in years.
It's your job to know to check your license on your BIRTHDAY! It's not likely you're going to forget that!
