Thanks a lot.   Sometimes we say that sarcastically.  This time we mean it.
       
Plymouth Rock, a Boston-based insurer, is offering to send you a free e-mail reminder 30 days before it’s time to renew your Massachusetts driver’s license. (You can sign up at mylesereminders.prac.com).

This service, which is open to anyone with a Massachusetts driver’s license and valid e-mail address, is worthwhile because the Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles no longer sends out renewal notices.

The service is an extension of the company’s MYLES (Make Your Life Easier Services) program.  Plymouth Rock policyholders also can have reminders sent for auto registration and inspections.

At the least, the service helps motorists avoid citations, embarrassment, and inconvenience for having an expired license at a routine traffic stop.  We’ve heard from drivers who’ve checked their license and realized it was expired … and from other folks who’ve found out the hard way during a traffic stop.

The only catch in the program is that you have to provide your license number and give the company access to your Massachusetts RMV records.  If you have a clean record, the company also will likely make a pitch for your business.

Plymouth Rock already has signed up thousands of its customers and hopes to sign up thousands more with this outreach program.

"Ultimately, the MYLES eReminder Service will make the life of every driver a little easier. That is a significant part of Plymouth Rock’s corporate mission," said company president Hal Belodoff.
