  "Fee figures reflect each state's PRIMARY SOURCE page as fetched this session; no effective date is shown on most state pages, so treat these as a verified point-in-time snapshot, not a live feed.",
  "Skills/road test fees in many states are charged by third-party examiners rather than the state DMV itself, and those private fees are NOT set or published by government -- noted per state where this applies rather than given a fabricated number.",
  "This dataset does NOT include real-time wait times -- no state or federal agency publishes structured wait-time data; each sibling site should link to the state's own scheduling portal instead of a cached number."
