Yeah I’ve called the circuit clerk the last 3 days. Each day I’ve sat and listened to my phone ring for at least 5 minutes, because I need a new drivers license. These people can’t even pick up the phone, absolutely pathetic by elected people’s.

Another county sent my child to take the drivers test here... I have never in my life seen an adult be so rude and talk to a child the way this woman did! She gave the permit test and blasted my child bc we are from a different county. It’s not our fault we were sent here to take the test. Not only was she rude, she told my child to tell all her friends from our county that she won’t be giving them a test and proceeded to sigh and walk away from the conversation. Terrible attitude from this lady! Kids are excited and nervous enough from this milestone in their life and she ruined that experience!
