DMV Official Says Drivers Slip-up Renewing License "Renewal lime for drivers' li cense seems to have a way of slipping up unnoticed," Assistant Motor Vehicles Commissioner Joe W. Garrett declared today. Prompted by a general decline in the normal volume of renewal applications, the vehicles execu tive reminded Tar Heel drivers their license is required by law to be renewed every fourth year. "Based oh the total number of drivers, this means normally we should expect about 40,000 renew als per month," Garrett stated. "However, in recent weeks we've noticed a gradual but consistent falling off." To avoid embarrass-j ment and possible expense, he cautioned drivers to inspect their, license frequently. j Garrett pointed out the vehicles agency maintains-'an examiner at 207 locations throughout the state. Applicants, he said, may phone or write for an appointment when renewal time approaches. The fee for a private operator's license renewal is $2.50 and a chauffeur's license, which must be renewed annually, is $2.00. j For several years the Motor Vehicles Department has mailed to licensed drivers a postal card reminding them of their license expiration date. However, since many , thousands of people move in four years they cannot depend I on the reminder. A 30 day grace period following the expiration date is also allowed, Garrett said. "To be safe we recommend a regular check of your driver's li cense. It takes only a moment, of course, and you may discover that it's la'ter than you think.
