Convenience Fee: Why?

My new year drive from Phoenix started me off with a ticket. Sad, but in a way, its a lesson not to take 290 freakin ever. Its a bloody cop-trap and it seems like the speed traps are in place just to loot money. Oh well, enjoy suckers.

But, wait, here's more. I decided to do the DD course to save 100 bucks and the grief of insurance and such, so I had to get a driver's record. Online is 10 + 2 bucks of convenience fee. What for? You just print the damn letter and put it in mail. In fact, it should be less coz it is much less work for you all. If all of us had to come your office, you would have to hire more people to cater to all of us. Instead now you run a batch process that print these records out and mail them.

If you would like to be more efficient, then encourage the use of internet, not discourage by adding stupid fees like these.
