Question Drivers Licence Weight

This question was on another board a while ago, but I thought it was a fun question...

What is the difference between your real weight and the weight on your drivers licence? And what was the difference from the weight you were when you first got it and what you put down?

For me, it's a 10 pounds difference now, and I think it was about 5 pounds difference when I first got it. But of course at my heaviest it was a 40 pound difference. I think in this state if it's a 10 pound difference or more you're supposed to change it, but yeah right. Unless I go under that weight, I am not changing it to make it heavier. I'll be changing it for every pound I lose once I get under 150, hahaha.

Which country/state requires you to put your weight on dirver's permit...?
I never heard of that... and I certainly do not remember having to put it on my Canadian license or on my European one... In fact, I'm sure I didn't and wasn't asked too...
*confused*

i am so glad we don't have to put those details on our licences. we only have our name, date of birth and current address on there.

i would be horrified if i had to put my weight on there!

Sushi - Most states in the US require it. There are a few that don't, I guess they are the lucky ones!

Hmmm...
Here in California we have... weight, height, color of eyes, color of hair. I think it's pretty stupid since weight changes and so does hair color for those who dye their hair. How many times at bars they say "This isn't you... " I'm sorry that my hair is the extreme opposite color and i lost a few pounds.

I was around 280 when I got it in 2002 and I lied and said 230!! It serves me right now that now it's 37 pounds over! And what's worse is when I get carded people give me weird looks because I don't look like that anymore. But it expires on my b-day this year and I definitely will be at my goal weight then.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hair & eye color and so on seem a bit too much too...
Maybe it's relicts from pre-coloured contact lenses days?

Actually, a European friend of mine has a story... She wears contact lenses and would never go out in public wearing glasses. She was getting her permit and the guy behind the counter asked "You don't wear glasses, right?" She said "No." and got a permit which doesn't say anything about her requiring corrective lenses to drive even though she's quite near-sighted.

I told the guy at the desk that I wear contacts, and they seem to have forgotten to put that on my driver's license. there's nothing about my terrible vision there.... When there ought to be!

Ever since I can remember needing to list an "official" weight, I've always used 180 lbs. How many times can I remember being that weight? Er.... since I was 14, twice. Three times would be a stretch! I'm slowly creeping down there, though... 14 more lbs until it's accurate

In my state they have the question on the form, but I just don't answer it and so it doesn't go on my license. I don't think that you HAVE to answer this question (except for maybe a few states). So my license just says my height.

Wow, I had no idea some states required you to put your weight on there. Thankfully here,in PA, we don't have to put our weight on our driver's license. Thank goodness for that!

Yeah... I'm *quite* over my DL weight, but was about 10 pounds off when I got it. Like Boarderchick, my license weight is my goal weight... so I guess my ticker shows it... oh dear.
