It’s not like you go to the D.C. DMV to chat up the happy employees as it is.

Now, reports the Examiner, when it comes to getting rid of parking tickets, you might not have the choice.

The DMV is proposing moving all ticket adjudication services to postal mail or the Internet as a means of streamlining the process. The motivation? The number of tickets is expected to skyrocket next year as the city installs and starts using parking violation cameras on street sweepers.

They plan to phase out the in-person system by December of next year.

We should note: unless you look it up online or happen to be psychic, you currently won’t know where to take the ticket for in-person adjudication as it is. As a recent parking ticket this blogger has in her glove box shows –- no address for where to go for that service is printed on the damned things.
