Run DMV
I skipped lunch with the coworkers today to get my oil change ($500NT), and while I was at the (reputable) Yamaha shop, I asked about renewing my scooter registration and whatever. She tells me there's the mandatory insurance ($1400NT) and some owner's registration ($1050), and both the locations for doing this are easily half an hour away by scooter and only open during regular business hours. So I fork over the $200NT handling fee to get them to do it for me.
And during this discussion, I found out that I've been driving with an expired scooter license for the past year.
Oops.
Turns out, they put the expiry date the same as my previous ARC, which I've since renewed for much longer. I guess I have to head out tomorrow morning to the Motor Vehicles Office (which is out in the opposite direction from work) to renew my license quickly, before I get pulled over for whatever and then fined a subsequent $6000NT.

Update: I dropped by the DMV this morning. 5 minutes and $200NT later, I got my license, good for another 1.5 years or so. No questions, no scolding on how it's possible that I let my driver's license expire for over a year, etc. Cool!
