Yep. It happened. By far, my best NSV so far.

I was pulled over today for failure to use my turn signal. I handed him my info and he stood there looking confused but didn't say anything. (This happens a LOT when people see my license which was at my highest weight) he walks back to his car without saying a word and a couple mins later another patrol car pulls up. They both get out, talk for a minute and walk over to my car....long story short, they thought I provided 'false identication to a police officer' I explained that I have recently lost about 80 pounds and dyed my hair. Luckily I had my passport in my glove box, and the photo was taken a out half way to goal.

I was given a 'fix it ticket' which states I have 10 days to report to my SOS (or DMV as it is in most States) for a new photo, or pay a fine. No ticket for the turn signal though

So cool! Love it!

I'm going on a trip in Dec....thinking I'm prob going to have to get a new passport! :-/

Wow that must have felt fantastic!!!!

You probably could have gotten out of the ticket if you would have said (in a husky voice), "Here, let me show you my scars." And start unbuttoning your blouse.

what a great way to distract the cop from the infraction he pulled you over for in the first place! That is one of the best get out of a ticket stories I've ever heard!

I'm pre-op and I reeeeallllly look forward to needing to go get a new drivers license picture. I also really look forward to actually weighing what I say I do on my license LOL I dunno who I'm kidding with that, and why the dmv never called me out on it! No way anyone would believe I weigh like 90 lbs less than I actually do

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So naughty!

This happened to a coworker! They pulled him over for driving while hispanic, gave his info & he's lost about 60-80# and they accused him of giving a stolen license. They gave him a real ticket and said he had to prove his identity & get a new license. He went to court & won but man that cop must of been blind bc he still looks like himself just skinnier.

What does NSV mean????

Driving while Hispanic?!

melissa130- NSV=Non Scale Victory. It's a victory you have with weight loss that is not tied to the scale.

I hadn't even thought about the difference it could make looking so different from my license. Guess I better cough up the bucks and go get a new one done

A motion put forth by some counties to identify illegal immigrants. It allows law enforcement in those counties to pull over and identify someone who is hispanic to make sure they are in the country legally. Most states however, this is illegal and we cannot use this practice. Even if we did allow it in Dallas County, TX, I doubt I'd partake since dealing with immigration is a waste of time and a pain in the ass.

I don't think I'd make a huge deal out of things if I ever came across this, but everyone is different I suppose. I don't think I could even give a "fix it" ticket here, to my knowledge there's nothing against changing looks as long as it's actually you with the correct address and information.

'false identication to a police officer'

hm734

that must have felt great

as OP said,"showing your scars" might have been interesting too

when i had lost 100 lbs (goal) - i chose to get a new license!!!

That's awesome--must have been a great feeling!
