Home'scool Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My daughter has her junior operating license, which means she is not supposed to be driving between the hours of 12:30 and 5:00 a.m. A few weeks ago she was coming home from a friends house around midnight and noticed someone that she knew from high school wandering in the middle of the road, highly intoxicated. She asked him what he was doing and he said his friends were supposed to have picked him up but he didn't know where they were. He was completely out of it and unaware that he was even in the middle of the street. She offered to give him a ride home. Turns out he lives completely across town, and was very confusing while giving directions. By the time she dropped him off and headed home it was close to 1:00 a.m. She was pulled over by the police, and cited for a time restriction violation, which means she loses her license for 60 days. She went to the RMV to appeal it today and they told her that they would schedule a hearing for her. For some reason they did not have the authority to reinstate her license, although they did tell her they were sympathetic towards her situation. Does anyone know if she can drive while this is being appealed? She didn't think to clarify this with the RMV before she left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I don't think so. Her license has been suspended, and until that decision is repealed, it stays suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I don't think so. Her license has been suspended, and until that decision is repealed, it stays suspended. :iagree:No driving until the appeal is won or the 60 days are up, whichever comes first.

Mrs Mungo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Gaaahh! This falls under "No good deed goes unpunished" I think it falls under, "life lessons for teens." She had other options, such as calling the police. In fact, she placed herself in a dangerous situation.

kricau Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 :iagree:I whole heartedly agree !!! A teen age girl SHOULD NOT under any cirrcumstances pick up a drunk (or not) male friend/acquaintance at midnight. I think it falls under, "life lessons for teens." She had other options, such as calling the police. In fact, she placed herself in a dangerous situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think it falls under, "life lessons for teens." She had other options, such as calling the police. In fact, she placed herself in a dangerous situation. Hindsight's always easy, but, yeah. I probably wouldn't have thought of it at the time, but calling his parents would have been a great option! To the OP, I am sorry your daughter is in this situation. It is hard when we end up punished for doing a good deed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
