Re: The State of Texas made a mistake? SAY IT AIN't SO!
The detail I would like is ... how did you get a young person to take the test in such an un-cool car?? My most recent new driver was going to use my 2016 Altima with backup camera, but my wife had to take it to visit her mother in the hospital. He ended up using my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Not as un-cool as a '67 Fairlane, but still pretty high on the "I wouldn't be caught dead driving that" list.mayor wrote:what details would you like? he was in a '67 ford fairlane, parallel parked, bumped a pole, failed and received his license in the mail yesterday.flechero wrote:I would have had him reschedule for another test, the day he failed the original try. In the interim, he would have mastered parallel parking and likely he would have tested again long before the plastic arrived.... Seems like there are details missing.
But to answer your question straight up- I would not let him drive or hold the license. I might hold it vs destroy it until I talked to DPS.
he'd already scheduled to retake the driving test. somebody goofed.

Verify status of license with DPS. Retest if needed. 7 of my ten children have taken the test. All passed first time. Some better than others. Parallel parking was the issue. Some did not center the car between within the parking space and lost points for that.mayor wrote:Made you look.
So, I'm curious as to what some of the most upstanding citizens of the Great State of Texas would do in the following situation.
My youngest son, due to stress or who knows what, failed his provisional driving test. He's a good driver. He parallel parked ok, but bumped the pole behind him because he didn't stop quite in time. Failure... that was first on the test and he didn't get to go any farther.
Today, he received his provisional DL plastic in the mail. Legally he can drive and nobody will be the wiser. I know what I'm going to do, i just wondered what some of the most law abiding citizens in the state would do.
I'll follow up in a couple of months.
thanks
