Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don’t have physical offices where I could queue personally…

lol. They have actually created the same experience online as in person dmv.
10/10. Their IT department is genius
It’s actually a bit better because you can be doing other stuff rather than wait in a line in a physical DMV.
yeah that’s a pretty big oversight tbh. they should make the website play “hold” music and add some “timeout” popups you have to keep clicking
You’re giving me flashbacks to the online training my work makes me do every year.
I almost failed the first of 7 courses because I made the mistake of trying to do actual work while listening to the training, and didn’t realize there was a 5 minute timer for inactivity on the video player. And no, there was no additional time provided to complete the training. It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.
Next: a subscription to jump to the front of the queue.
Why pay for more servers when you can tell your users to queue?
I love that you automatically assume that the majority of us are us based. Are we? Anyone know the stats?
They didn’t assume most people are US-based. They assumed the DMV would be the most widely recognised and understood example to use.
Why would non Americans know what the dmv is?
I’m superficially familiar with it from watching simpsons episodes.
Are you being obtuse? English is the most commonly spoken language in the world and US culture is extremely popular worldwide.
