Kernersville DMV Lines: Real People, Real Frustration
It’s not just you. A WFMY News 2 report showed dozens of drivers lined up outside the Kernersville DMV early in the morning—some arriving before 7 a.m.—just to be seen. One resident called it “the worst DMV experience I’ve ever had.”

“It’s hot, there’s no shade, and they just told us the line might not even get through today.” — Local driver outside the Kernersville DMV
