Where is the DMV in Pickering Ontario?(It's By The Go Train Station) DMV=MTO=Service Ontario=Long Waits=Annoying Hassles

Springfield is based on Pickering Ontario. Yup, it's True!

You know, my Pickering is Springfield website keeps getting hits on where the DVM is in Pickering, Ontario? It's actually because I talk about a reference to Pickering in one episode of the Simpsons where Patty and Selma are referencing various Pickering streets and stuff. Check out the website, Pickering is Springfield for more information on it...

What do Canadians call the DMV?

Well, Canada doesn't have DMV's, or Department of Motor Vehicle offices. Instead, we have the Ministry of Transportation offices (MTO is acronym, what Canadians call the DMV), which is actually run through little "Service Ontario" centers or kiosks. Don't ask why...

So, here's the address for the MTO in Pickering ON (it's right by the Go train station by Liverpool and Bayly):

Pickering Phone: (905) 831-3525

In the United States of America, a Department of Motor Vehicles (or DMV) is a state-levelgovernment agency that administers vehicle registration and driver licensing. Several states do not have a DMV and split its traditional functions between other state agencies.

Jokes about DMVs have become common (and even somewhat of a cliché) in American comedy, and DMVs are often the subject of satire in television shows and movies. Humor about long lines, unenthusiastic employees and departmental policies is common, as are stereotypical depictions of driving testers, usually portrayed as unsympathetic and callous. In a Dane Cook special on Comedy Central, he remarked that in the future, when everything is instantaneous, the DMV will still take "like nine seconds". The DMV has been more than once jokingly connected to Hell. In the Primus song "DMV", the DMV is compared to Hell. In American comedy (such as an episode of Pinky And The Brain, where it's revealed the DMV has a trapdoor to "Hades" and the TV series Reaper, where the DMV is where evil escaped souls from Hell are deposited since it's "the closest thing on Earth to Hell", as said by Satan himself). In Family Guy, it was told that "Nate Griffin", ancestor of Peter Griffin, founded the DMV.
