Familiar guy in line at DMV: Gov. Guinn

Tuesday, July 20, 1999 | 9:16 a.m.

Guinn said he waited one hour and five minutes to renew registrations on two cars that he and his wife Dema own. Once he got to a clerk at the Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety office, he says the renewal only took a few minutes.

By the time he got to the head of the line, Guinn said he had talked with just about everyone around him.

"The time went by real fast," he said. "One guy said that if I didn't mind standing in line, he didn't either."

"Someone else said, 'Are you sure you have to stand in line?' I said, 'Yes. I'm no different than anyone else."'

Guinn said he would have registered by mail, but figured July was too far along to ensure that he'd get renewal stickers by Aug. 1, when his current license stickers expire.
