You will always be a loser and that's okay.

Guess it was pretty stupid in the first place, making a pegasi carry a license to do what they were born to do, huh?

And that is why this concept doesn't work. :ajbemused:

I mean, watching Dashie suffer through the DWE was kinda funny, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a sucker for jokes about the DMV. But in the back of my mind, I kept thinking "Why would this be a thing in Equestria?" The only thing I bought was the designated flyer bit; everything else seemed highly implausible. Heck, if you're a pegasus and for some reason you don't live in Cloudsdale where the DWE office is, the only way to get there is by flying there! That's a little counterintuitive, don't you think? :trixieshiftright:

Beyond that, you have a few grammatical and formatting errors (one pegasus, two pegasi, no scene transitions, etc.). It's not terrible, but if you're gonna make a DMV parody with ponies, make it believable.

...

Yes, I'm saying that about a world full of candy-colored horses. Deal with it. :duck:

What happened at the end? Did you fail to write the letter or something?

3320058 No. That was the joke.

Man, I am so glad my state DMV moved most of their functions online.

3320185 I'm assuming this will be the second chapter?

3320590 Probably. Have Celestia doing things or have the entire second chapter the note.

Rainbow Dash,
Wow
Princess Celestia

I died at that part

Cool. Also, not to sound rude or needy, how do you people get the featured list?

The DMV is so much hassle... But, I'm glad around where I live we DON'T Have a DMV, just a county Courthouse, which is slow as hell even though it's a small town courthouse!

3319910 The cover image gave me the idea to write this story, so that's why she's renewing her flyer's license. I'm aware the concept doesn't really make sense, so that's why the whole "the law changed" thing happens. I do have a headcanon though where any pony that works on Weather Patrol needs a license, mostly for identification and stuff while working on the weather. Now, even though we all have the ability to drive, we still have a DMV, so I pictured Equestria having the same thing (just like we drive there, pegasi fly there).

SCENE TRANSITIONS, THANK YOU! I totally forgot to include a line break at the right parts!

3321024 Actually, there won't be a second chapter! I felt that it would be better for the reader to imagine what Dash wrote to make Celestia just say "Wow".

Heh, it's amusing to randomly stumble across a story based on one of my pictures. I definitely wasn't expecting that, wouldn't have thought anyone could flesh that out into a full story. And I still see little errors in my picture that I wish I'd done better.

3319910 Yeah, that was pretty much the main joke in my original picture. Sort of satire, perhaps, specifically because it doesn't make sense for ponies to have all the same rule systems we have everywhere.

3331877 I'm so glad you stumbled across this! Awhile ago, I saw someone with your picture as their avatar and I was like "I could write something about that." I hope you enjoyed it!

This is funny. I just wish the premise made was more believable.

3384570 And I wish Modest Mouse would make a new album, but here I am. Seriously though, yeah, I admit I could've made the beginning a bit better.

Hmm. This reminds me of a bus-ad that said "Illiterate? Write for help!"
I like this, so you get an upvote and a watch.

This is a grand bit of fun in digitally posted ink. 8/10 Would recommend!

Hehe, Wondering what Rainbow wrote to Celestia makes me die of laughter :pinkiehappy:

What I want to know is...if you DON'T need to renew your flyer's license, then why the hell did Fluttershy say Rainbow Dash needed to? That right there, makes no sense at all.

3752315 Not everyone knew that the law was passed. It's pretty much how laws in your state may change all the time and you're totally unaware.

I can only imagine what Dash wrote to 'Tia. It's probably something like the letters in this story XD

3752315
Apparently, Fluttershy didn't know about the law change.

3752315 Maybe Flutters is a secret prankster

Phenomenal work, but, dude, I'd love to see the letter Dashie wrote.
10/10 very accurate. Bring something to occupy your time at the DMV/DWE kids, or just be crazy to start, like me.

4963366 Nothing I write could be better than what you imagined in your head!

It looks like the poster pegasus has a molotov.

Having checked your bio, you should probably look at this story's rank.

Exactly how I feel a bit at the DMV. Except I keep getting screwed over for my license.

They are lucky there are no giant robots in equestria

The DE wouldn't last an HOUR in that case.

Is the DMV just an American thing or is every country's driver department unceremoniously assinine?
