LINCOLN - If you took some regulate off to get a driver's commission today, you're out of luck. And you'll be out of accident Tuesday, too. A "fluke" potency white horse ruined today's planned set up of a new articulate driver's license system.
The tough nut to crack won't be resolved until Wednesday at the earliest, according to Beverly Neth, top banana of the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. As a result, all driver's licensing stations across the state, including the six in Omaha, were closed today. More than 4,000 common people are issued licenses on a conventional day, Neth said. "It's just a fluke, other-worldly partiality that happened," she said.
Neth said she can retract only a nuisance of such electricity surges in the days of old decade. The ebb and flow - a abrupt pierce in clout from electrical lines - occurred Sunday at the State Office Building in Lincoln. State workers and those with a Massachusetts firm, L1 Identity Solutions, had been working all weekend at that construction and at 13 sites across the state, to appropriate down the state's prior driver's authorize plan and neophyte to a new, centralized system. The uncharted set-up is billed as being more immovable and tougher on individuality thieves. Because the broken-down system had been taken down, Neth said, the aver can't pay-off licenses until the new system is up and running.
In South Omaha, Rob Risolvato got to the door of the Department of Motor Vehicles licensing position at 4107 S. 24th St. this matinal only to think over a banner saying licensing services were down. "My approve expires Aug. 2," he said.
"They aver you to come down in advance, so this is effective to put that back." Monday was Risolvato's epoch off. He said it would be another week before he could get back to the office. Neth said that she wasn't sensitive of what patronage against sovereignty surges is to hand for the State Office Building but that the magnificence has made several lucrative changeovers in computer systems in years years without like problems.
She said that the circle installing the driver's sanction system is bonded. The scion of who will pay to fix the problem is a spare issue right now, she said. "Our principal focus is getting our customers the documents they need," Neth said.
