California DMV news roundup

There is a serious budget crisis in the State of California right now. That's why parking enforcement has been so strong. However, Sacramento parking enforcement has crossed the line into ridiculousness, reports the Sacramento Bee. Until 2 a.m. in the morning, there are parking enforcement patrolling the streets around the capital. This is something that is done late into the night regularly.

Stress comes with DMV backlog

New services at dmv.ca.gov appear to have come just in time, as worker furloughs and a DMV backlog has made the performance of basic tasks more time-intensive than ever. Reports are that new California drivers may have to wait as long as a month before receiving a new license. But that’s still an improvement, as the wait was twice as long recently.
