    it is not a scam.drivers license is being sold from the licensing department like hot bread. this is a fact. the matter is going to be dealt with .people will Start to resign from the licensing department in the coming days and weeks.and for all those that paid $1 200 dollars for your license you are going to be charged and your license revoked.. and yes their are many who bought their drivers license.
