For many US motorists, updating their license at the DMV can be a herculean feat with lengthy wait times.

If you're an AAA member, you can already just go there for a lot of DMV services and have them done there. They're considerably faster.

Last time I checked in California, they couldn't do driver's license renewals, though AAA can in some other states.

A more-practical "provide a faster alternative" change than abolishing the DMV might be just letting California AAA do driver's license renewals.

    That's fucked up. A private organization shouldn't be allowed to handle stuff like that.
