freelancing and moving with a restricted license

[cyjeff]

I don't recommend that anyone break the law. I have advised on 2 occasions that the OP follow the terms of his restriction. In fact, I wish all suspended/revoked/never-were licensees were punished severely. The reality is that it doesn't happen, and it is dishonest to pretend it does.

As for the purpose of this forum, c'mon. Most of the comments are moralistic, legally-ignorant, one-line cracks.

Report me now.

Or, in your case, legally irresponsible.... which is what we don't do here.

your wish is my command.

Thanks for your frank self-assessment.

Thank you for your useless one-line comment. As always.

How is it irresponsible, in a discussion among adults, to point out official statistics? Is it more responsible to lie and tell the OP that if he drives outside his license restrictions, he will be arrested immediately? The fact is, it is highly unlikely.

I have repeatedly said that the OP should follow the letter of the law. I wish LE would catch all the scofflaws in my area and punish them. The CA DMV site itself has a report saying that at any one moment, there are over 1 million drivers in the state without valid licenses. Turning a blind eye does not solve any problems.

Thanks to all for your replies and your "spirited" discussion regarding risk and driving habits.

I have to agree with Highwayman here and agree that it doesn't feel like "low risk" to me, and I for one will not be tempting fate or testing my luck. The consequences are far too extreme to be worth it, especially since I will be eligible for a regular license in the next four months or so anyways...

I certainly understand the punitive aspect of the restricted license, and was inquiring simply because the nature of my work is somewhat different than the average person, and was curious how law enforcement might look at the gray areas surrounding it.

I guess I shouldn't really expect the policy of the "black and whites" to include much gray area, though.

I'd rather live without anxiety and skip the chance..

Thanks for the responses. This is a good forum..

You made the best decision. Good luck.

Seems to me buying supplies would be ok.
As long as you have something to show you are a piano teacher, and
maybe take a list of what you need to buy and it's at a music store, or office supply store, something of that nature.
Someone who does construction for work is gonna need supplies.
Be sure to have biz cards, and flyers, IMHO, or will that not be enough?

I fix computers, same deal. Might need to go to Fry's or Best Buy..
The verbiage in CA is for work AND in the course of your work.
That would include purchasing items needed for work, no?

I for one am not taking any risks. Riding my bike to the bank now.
