The DMV Never Forgets ...

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids, Car & Vehicle on April 27, 2009 at 5:28 pm


Fifteen-year-old Jesse Jakan passed the written exam and taken a driving course, so he was excited to get his driving permit … except for one teeny tiny glitch: he caused a car accident when he was 6, and the DMV never forgets.

Jesse said the DMV asked him if he had ever driven before. He said "No." He said a DMV supervisor then told him he had a driving record and needed to have his license/permit reinstated.

"At the time, I was furious," said Chris Jakan, Jesse’s dad. "I thought it was the most absurd thing I had ever heard."

When Jesse was 6 years old he was playing around in his mom’s car and popped it out of gear. The car rolled down the driveway and crashed into another car.

"This is ridiculous. A 6-year-old should not be held accountable for his actions at that age," said Chris Jakan. "I am just wondering why a 6-year-old would have been ticketed for driving a car when he wasn’t driving. He popped it out of gear by accident."

    You poor, poor electronic age - can't get away with a thing! I totaled a car the same way when I was 4, but the reports on ditto paper are long gone.

    It sounded like the DMV just needed to process some paperwork to clear the accident before they could issue the permit. He should be more concerned about what the insurance companies might try to charge because of his "record".

    Who would issue a six year old a ticket in the first place? That makes as much sense as the Washington Nationals allowing a little league to pay a fine levied against one of their own players for being late to a game (I guess the $500 is supposed to make up for the fans that won't come to watch a 4-14 team).

    I don't understand whether I'm supposed to be angry at the DMV because it is evil or happy about one less pasty manchild behind the wheel. That guy looks like a fetus.

    Kids 15 & 16 should not be getting drivers' licenses.It is absurd that in some states, a 16 year-old can pilot a 2-ton vehicle at highway speeds but cannot legally consent to having sex. This license policy is a remnant of the 1920's 30's when teens were mature, & like my dad, had to work for a living. Today's teens are almost all idiots.
