In September of 2017, I had a heart and kidney transplant, and a long convalescence began. I thought I might never drive again. I canceled my auto insurance, let my license lapse, and ignored the notice to renew my registration.
As a year passed, my thinking reversed. Yes, I would become a highway hazard again. I would go through the hassle and expense of renewing everything. And I resolved to succumb to an insidious scheme known as Real ID.
