Why do drivers license pics always come out looking like shit??

Can't they afford some decent quality camera gear and lighting at the DMV?
A booth type setup would probably work better.

I renewed my license pic a few days ago and it looks like crap. They shine this bright high beam light on your face that drowns out all your facial features.

I renewed my Passport picture at some corner store photo place and it looks a million times better.. the guy just took it with a regular camera too.

My passport pic looks like shit too.

I guess it's just me... :1orglaugh

Am I right in thinking you Americans get your photo taken for free my your vehicle licensing authority, whilst we have to sit in a shitty little £4 a go photo booth which takes the picture just as you look away?

you pay a nominal fee for the license itself which covers the administrative costs, office people, person who takes the picture, etc. I think it varies by state.

My passport photo makes my license photo look amazing. I'm surprised I'm even allowed into countries after they see my passport photo.

the funniest is the shadows makes you look like you have a mullet lol

That was an extraordinarily pointless article link.

I paid $65. Every 6 years now..

and get this... I am driving home and i get fucken caught in a police seat belt trap. Those fucks were stopping everybody and giving them tickets for not wearing a seatbelt. How the fuck do you get a fine for not wearing a seatbelt?? Who are you hurting by not wearing a seatbelt other than yourself?? Who's business is it if I want to fucken die because I have no seatbelt on?

So I ended up paying another $74

It's more because:

• The police tend to be fucking lazy cunts going for the easiest crimes to handle
• See above

in UK you have to have a neutral look while taking the id pic... otherwise you might get some problems with law...
