My wife sure got herself in a predicament,she let her drivers license lapse for four years! She is a very good driver and she has never had a moving violation in 38 years of driving. Anyway...she continued to drive during those four years even though her license had become invalad.She would not listen to my countless pleas to renew. Finally..she decided that four years driving on a lapsed license was a little long and she went down to renew.She passed the written and visual tests with flying colors! After the test,they noticed that her license had lapsed for more than four years.Now here's the kicker..they told her that Michigan requires that the driver take drivers training and a road test for licences that have lapsed for more than 4 years.
She enrolled in drivers education "after" driving without a ticket in 38 years.I can't even claim that record!!! Anyway..she paid the $275.00 enrollment fee and blew the road test!!! Not on the road mind you..she failed to parallel park between two parked cars that had only a 4 foot total clearence.That's 2 feet on each end,sounds like a mile right? This may seem like room to spare but it is "very" tight. I went down to look at it myself and I'm not sure I could have made the clearance in our full sized van!.On top of that,she was very nervous and I'm sure that plaid a major roll in her failure.
No moving violations in 38 years of driving in a fairly large city in very heavy traffic but she let her licence lapse. Now she has to pay "another" $275.00 and take the road test,actually..parallel parking test again.Believe me..she has more than learned her lesson on procrastination..
