Older drivers: How did you react when they first made you change your hair color to "gray" on your license?

they can make you do that? my license says blonde hair, and i’m obviously a brunette now. i haven’t changed it. i don’t think they pay attention to those details.

My friend was telling me about his trip to the DMV the other day to get his renewal. The worker noticed “brown” for his hair color, and told him that if they made her change her records, then she was going to make him change his. I’m glad I’m not there, yet.

not as badly as when they wrote bald on it….

@srmorgan Ouch!

It hasn’t happened to me, yet, but you should see people’s expression when they look at my drivers license and compare it to me.

Late last year, I had a severe allergic reaction to some medication, which threw my hormones all out of balance. Most of my hair fell out, and the little that is left turned pure white. My picture has long, salt and pepper hair. I look about twice as old as I did in the picture, and everyone thinks I’m her mother. My avatar still looks like that picture.

I felt good. each gray hair, like a lion’s mane, are testaments to my life achievements. Struggles,lost loves, gained friends, sorrow, and wisdom are also evident in my wrinkles. My kids also love my gray hair, and trust me, that is my victory.

@YARNLADY correction, my avatar looks like I do now, not the driver’s license picture.

My state doesn’t have hair color on my license. Eye color and height are the only descriptions. You can change your hair color everyday of the week, I wonder why that would be listed?

And…. I would not have let them put gray for my hair color, even if hair color was listed. My hair isn’t gray, it’s white.
