If for some reason you're leaving Alabama for a little while—wait, what? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? We were just starting to get along and pay taxes together.

But supposing you have a good reason, can you request a free extension before your license expires? Well, maybe, under certain circumstances. For this type of thing, you're better off going right to the DPS and asking them, though.

But seriously, we think you should stay put. It's nice here, and humidity is like a warm, wet friend who likes to constantly hug you.
