As you should know by now, we are leaving for Iowa a week from Tuesday.
simplewordsmith is trying to get a driver's license again before we leave. He has had a license in the past, but has let it expire. The only time that he was able to schedule for between now and then was Thursday at 1pm. Is there anyone who has a car (automatic only, please, he doesn't know how to drive stick) who could help us out? The test is in Cambridge. He would also like to get some practice time in the car he will be testing in beforehand. He could do practice pretty much anytime between now and then.
Requirements for the car:
- Not be stick
- Be in good working condition and be able to pass a safety check.
- Have a valid registration and current inspection sticker.
- Contain adequate seating accommodations next to the operator for the use of the examiner, and have a rear seat for the sponsor.
- Be designed to let the examiner make an emergency stop using the emergency hand brake. If not, the vehicle CANNOT be used for the road test.
- Any vehicle with a center console that does not have an emergency hand brake as part of the console CANNOT be used.
- Any vehicle that does not allow the examiner unobstructed access to the emergency hand brake CANNOT be used.
