Suspended Driver's License - Problems Finding a Job?

[Kiwiology]

Gives them a reason not to get caught doing it again.

I'll do you one better sir, it's a good reason not to do it again

That way you don't have to worry about getting caught

And what is it with Pennsylvania (and those other places) being Commonwealths?

Great, saying that make me think of Lara Flynn Boyle off The Practice, wasn't she a Commonwealth's Attorney? Now I'm going to have nightmares, great, thanks a lot, I'm blaming Penns...well in this case Massachusetts.

Keep in mind there is a difference between underage drinking (Age 18-21) and Minor Consumption (Age < 18) (at least here). Minor in consumption will get your liscense suspended until you turn 18. Obviously this is a big deal to a teenager and is a deterrant (in theory) to many teenagers, but not all obviously. I would have been one of the latter if I was a teenager today instead of many many years ago.

By contrast, Under age drinking is just a "citation" I am even not sure if it is a misdomeaner or not. I do not think it involves suspension of your driving privilages by itself.

I suspect that this kid may have been a minor (liklely age 15-16) who got caught multiple times or did not do the required community service, or some similar act of teenage boneheaded ness.. and had his liscense suspended until age 18.

Fair? No, but life isnt fair. Good Idea? I I think so. better to have a small gut punch as a teenager than a huge one as an adult.

Around here, you even loose your drivers license if you`re riding your bike while being shitfaced (to be precise: over 1,6 alcohol level).

Of course, we have a more relaxed relation (lawfully) when it comes to drinking anyways.

Wine and beer - 16 yrs. upwards.

Everything else - 18yrs. upwards.

When I was in my teens, we could even smoke with 16, but since then they`ve increased it to 18 years.

It would appear that this thread no longer involves the OP..

[Vorenus]

Seems like it, although two days ain`t that long, maybe she`ll come back.

[Just Plain Ruff]

My suspicion is that she probably won't come back because she didn't hear what she wanted to hear but I hold out some form of hope that we might see her back.

I'd like to hear it actually from the horses mouth and not the filtered down version though. Maybe the boyfriend might come and grace us with is presence but I hold less hope than that though.

WE shall see.

I'm inclined to think the OP was asking for herself while referencing the "boyfriend".

[Just Plain Ruff]

Mike you cynic, that was also one of my thoughts.

[paramedicmike]

It wouldn't be the first time someone's called me that.

One tends to become cynical after a few decades of hearing the same bull dung and stories !

:-] Me : I was born a cynic. something about being a child of the fifties.
