What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
I don't know if this is the right forum but I have a restricted license as a result of a DUI. My son will be getting his learner's permit this afternoon if he passes. The law in Virginia says this:
"A. ...when accompanied by any licensed driver 21 years of age or older or by his parent or legal guardian, or by a brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, step-brother, or step-sister 18 years of age or older. The accompanying person shall be (i) alert, able to assist the driver, and actually occupying a seat beside the driver or, for motorcycle instruction, providing immediate supervision from a separate accompanying motor vehicle and (ii) lawfully permitted to operate the motor vehicle or accompanying motorcycle at that time.
My license is restricted through April of next year. I can drive for my 1st job & I can drive for side job as an independent sales rep - both between hours of 6:30am and 9:30pm M-Sat and 11am-5pm on Sunday, I can also drive my child to and from school, to and from his dad's house or a meeting place inbetween, to and from his grandparent's house for care/supervision. My question: Can I be one of the adult drivers that accompanies him when he is driving? The way I read it is that I can so long as the driving is for purposes outlined on my restricted license. Is that correct? How do you interpret this? I can't find anything that specifically says anything about whether the supervising driver can't have a restricted license.
