Do you think this is a form of discrimination...

If you have your license and have had it for more than 2 years - there would not be a problem.

Thats what I thought -- so regardless of your relation to her, she should still be able to drive you around, correct? If you've had your license for at least two years.

If I recall correctly - Carole doesn't drive. I would think it's doubtful she would have a license.

I do not know actually since she didn't mention anything about it in the post

No actually I don't think it is discrimination.

they have laid out these rules to minimize the amount of people an inexperienced driver has in the car. IF you have immediate access to another licensed driver (IE: your husband even though he works during the day) then you techincally don't NEED her to drive you with her being so inexperienced.

I mean I know you are close the situation and you see that your husband can't always leave work but these rules were put into place for extenuating circumstances like when someone has no one else available AT ALL at ANYTIME to drive them. I mean to "them" your hsuband is responsible for you... not your daughter.

Sorry

I would still try to call them and talk to them about your situation and see if you can be exempt but otherwise I don't think it's discrimination

I don't think it would be called discrimination, but it sure the heck isn't fair and needs to be brought to someone's attention!!

Definitely not discrimination. It is set up to give people who have no other means of obtaining services a way of getting there to get them. You do have other means, you would just find it more convenient to have your daughter do it for you. Also, there is also a method for people who do not fall into the predefined guidelines to get waivers to obtain the same benefits once they show the same need. No discrimination at all.

In Nevada, I know the restrictions don't apply to driving parents around, even if the parent doesn't have a licence. I don't think it applies to parents here in Oregon either. I think its kind of wierd that you can't drive parents around there, as thats the reson most parents make kids get licences lol

I'd try to get a waiver for sure, as your daughter getting a licence would be very helpful to you and your husband especially if an emergancy were to happen and you couldn't get ahold of your husband for some reason.

I guess Im lucky I got my licence before all these restrictions were put in place although my dad didn't even let me take a driving test until I proved to HIM that I was safe. I just wish more parents took the time to teach their kids the right way instead of relying on the system to teach them.

sorry I have no input about your case other that it seems really unfair....

here you can get a minor license (for under 18yrs)....you just need a basic driving course and pay (1yr) and almost only restriction is not to drive at night hours but if I recall is after 6pm... or was it 8pm?... can´t remember and you have speed limit restriction (this for ALL roads so speed limits in certain streets are not supposed to apply if you have lower speed limit).... than after 18 you get your pemanent license which last for how long you pay it for... 1yr 3yrs 5yrs.... and restrictions are just if you wear glasses you have to wear them, if you have far/near sight problems then you have late hours restrictions...
