Jody emailed me tonight to let me know she got some mail for me from “Government of Alberta, Driver Fitness and Monitoring, Edmonton” and that it was probably my stickers for the license plate but did I want her to open up the envelope and check?<\/p>\n

I quickly Googled Driver Fitness and Monitoring because it didn’t sound good and the results caused me to reply with, “Yes.”<\/p>\n

It took about an hour for her to get back to me while I fretted. Did someone report me for dangerous driving? Was I ticketed for something and never informed? The best case scenario I could envision was that I needed to get my eyes tested since they didn’t do that when I got my license here (wearing glasses or contacts is a condition on my license). I kept telling myself, “Calm down. Whatever it is, you’ll deal with it. No sense working yourself up over nothing.” But you try to get a letter from a place called Driver Fitness and Monitoring without knowing the contents and not fret over it!<\/p>\n

Jody’s next email had the subject line “Mail is OK” with a scan of the letter. I just laughed and laughed and laughed because the letter basically said what the lady from Service Alberta told me yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the letter:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The highlights:<\/p>\n

-Your Accent has been reported unrepairable. It cannot be registered or put on the road. It can only be sold for scrap or dismantled for pairs.<\/p>\n

-If you still have your registration and license plate, you can transfer them to a new vehicle.<\/p>\n

-If you don’t have the registration and license plate, advise a registry office so that they can be cancelled.<\/p>\n

I am once again thankful that Jody reminded me to go grab my license plate off the car<\/a>. I am certain I would not have thought to do so myself. I am really fond of that license plate because it is just one number off from the motorhome so I only have to remember which is the 6 and which is the 7. It’s like having a matched set, which is what my rig might look like soon if the seller would only get back to me! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
