Janelle Dunklee recently received a letter from the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) informing her that her driver’s license had been suspended. Ms. Dunklee called to find out what was up with that. According to WPTZ TV, the DMV told Dunklee they were “clearing out some old records” and discovered that she’d been pulled over for speeding in 1980. The records indicated she’d been given a speeding ticket for doing 43 in a 30 and fined $26. As the fine was never paid, Dunklee’s license was suspended. Claiming she'd “never been pulled over in her life," Dunklee challenged the 27-year-old suspension. Claiming they were “surprised at the delay,” court officials dismissed the ticket. State's Attorney Robert Sand was surprised at their surprise. "Back in 1980, paperwork was done by hand, and it wasn't uncommon for things to get lost,” he said.

Dismissed ticket + waived fine + no jail time = I’m moving to Vermont!
Ever notice that news copy posted on these local TV websites is absolutely the most badly written stuff that is ever published in any medium?
Actually this Vermont article is Noble-prize worthy compared to what you typically see — it merely seems like it was written by a rushed 12-year-old of average intelligence.
For a second there, I thought this post would have been about a woman who drove for 27 years and never had a license to begin with. Because instances like that are not unheard of….
Oh, and it’s Nobel, not Noble. Unless you’re talking about a brand of very fast semi-kit cars.
