A lot of Virginia drivers got up early on a Saturday morning to wait in line at their local DMV, but doors were locked and a notice hung on the window that they weren’t open due to a technical outage.
Soon after 10:30 a.m. Saturday, DMV posted this notice on Facebook:

CBS6 noted that an automated message greeted motorists calling the DMV call center earlier on Saturday, noting their system was down, too.
“Of course the day I can get my license DMV is closed,” wrote one Twitter user.
“Got to the DMV before it opened just to stand outside in 14 degree weather & found out the computers aren’t working so it’s closed (-:,” wrote another.
