Sorry to hear that.  He may be one of us who always haves to learn the hard way.

> Hi guys,
>         Notice how I didn't even need to put a name in the subject line this
> time.  You guys quickly figured out what's up again.  Yep, Chris is having
> his license suspended after a week.  One day after having his license, the
> same day that he appeared in court, we learned that he took a bunch of kids
> to the movies.  In Maine, your first drivers license is a provisional
> license.The regulations are that you can only drive other family members
> around and so on and so forth.  Needless to say, none of those kids were
> related to Chris.  We gave him a warning and we made sure that his girl
> friend's parents also new about the restrictions on his
> license.  Yesterday, Chris had finally paid us enough so that he could get
> insured and drive independently.  Greg and I have stipulated that he will
> pay for his own insurance.  So, last night he took the car to Nicki's house
> and came home.  Today, he went to Nicki's house, put her in the car and
> went out to eat.  How do we know, Greg drove by one time  and found the car
> in front of Nicki's house, then he came back later and it was gone.  They
> were having lunch out.  Greg walked in and sat down across from them, where
> they were eating,  and asked for the keys.  Chris was caught red handed and
> complied.  Then, there was a policeman also having lunch so Greg went over
> to check out the rules and the officer said that for him to suspend the
> license he would have to see Chris actually driving, but if we press the
> issue, the state will support us.  Chris also has a meeting with his
> probation officer this afternoon, at which time, all this will be coming
> out, including Chris riding in the car with a drunk person last week and,
> who knows what all else,  and we have no idea what she will say about things.
>         The sad thing is that, ever since last Thursday, we have been getting
> along much better with Chris.  We've had some really open and frank
> discussions.  I think that we're as disappointed in how things turned out
> as he is, but he has to learn to respect the law and to say "no," to his
> impulsivity.    Thanks for letting me fil you in and thanks, as always, for
> praying.
> Who else,
> Chris's mom!  Arg!
