I had one license where I was looking to the right, like someone had distracted me
The DMV photog never told me to look at the camera, so I didn't. Got a few questions on that one when I got pulled over, merely explained, " They never told me to look at the camera. " all was well.
Though I did have some douche of a "security" goon at a bar once ask for my ID, and told me I couldn't come in because the guy in the photo had a beard, and I didn't...... at the time....., told me legally I had to go get my ID renewed. Gee, the trooper who pulled me a few days before had no problem making the ID OR writing the ticket.
My current licencse, I look like a serial killer, second day back to work after 8 weeks off for cancer treatment, I was beat, and very annoyed I had to do this NOW, $38 for a really bad freakin picture
