Back in 1994, or so, I was in a driver’s ed class. There was one kid who would drive to class every day. Funniest damn thing. We were 15.
Doesn’t sound odd to me unless you mean he drove there by himself.
I got my permit at 15 from just a written test. Then went to driver’s ed to practice and such for when it came time to get my license. IIRC it was down at my high school and I drove there and back with one of my parents along for the ride. It’s less than a mile down the road from where I grew up and even now it’s not a busy road.
Did my first highway driving and actual busy streets in driver’s ed.
He drove there himself, without his parents. This was classroom driver’s ed. I don’t even think we had learners permits yet.
Does seem pointless, doesn’t it.
My favorite part about this:
“Actually, I’m pulling into my doctor’s office actually,” Harris said. “Just give me one second. I’m parking right now.”
Guy was a couple minutes away from being not driving. Fate could have put him in a position where he had just parked and was zoom calling the court… He could have also just had one of those split second realizations while opening the Zoom app to just wait a minute until he parks…
But… None of those happened and we got this fabulous news article.
Judges see a lot of stupid shit during their careers. I doubt he was truly astonished.
