Registration sticker

Well well. I have been lucky for the past one month for not having been ticketed. Not that I was speeding big time. But I was driving around in an unregistered car.
Usually they mail you the renewal notice every time before the registration sticker expires. I did not get mine. So I went over to the office and told them what had happened. I had not receieved the notice since I moved from my old address and the novel people who still occupy the place did not bother to forward the mail. They thought trashcans serve the same purpose!

Anyway the point I was getting at was that the process of getting a new sticker was painless. No forms to be filled up. No massaging the ranks. No nothing. They just need proof that the vehicle is in your name, the VIN and insurance card. And they don't even need a copy. They just need to see them. And thats it. Your vehicle becomes registered in 2 minutes. Its the same with filling up tax forms. 1 hour sit down and you are done. Ditto with every process and every dam forms you fill up. I also learned at work that anything that goes above one 1-sided page needs further refining. Wow! I pretty well remember the hassles back home for any form we fill up. Be it the drivers license or the passport or admissions or taxes. I think many people delay tasks because the forms are too tidious and require thousands of supporting documents. Some of the documents asked are kind of void. For example they ask for a birth certificate for admissions to the junior college when the DOB is printed on the SSC marks certificate. Imagine what we could achieve if we make the system easier. I think that all form should be made such that a high school graduate should be able to understand and fill it up with minimal effort. Thats when we take the pain out of the process!!
