you have to watch the Big Bang Theory sitcom on TV to get to know Sheldon Cooper and the other characters on the show.

The fact that Nate has never heard of Sheldon Cooper scares me just a little bit.
Carl:
You might want to read some of the code of Virginia. In the first section of the article of the code of Virginia (18.2-266) you will find the following:
"For the purposes of this article, the term "motor vehicle" includes mopeds, while operated on the public highways of this Commonwealth. "
I'm certainly not a lawayer or an expert on the Code of Virginia, but I think this applies to the entire article including prohibition of driving upon loss of license later on in the article.
Of course it does come down to definition of article vs paragraph vs chapter vs section, etc etc. This is part of what is wrong with our laws (at all levels of government) - it is too hard for the average person to read and understand them. And there entirely too many laws!

I like Sheldon's t-shirts 😀

Ever since they went to digital tv signals, we have been without tv. Hard to miss it, when you stay busy.

Hey, I'm just going by what the chief of police said. I'm not going to get into a huge pissing contest with you about code and section. I took at cop at his word. I guess I was wrong to do so. I should go ahead and put an extra layer of tinfoil on my pyramid hat now.
When my Dad got his first car, I'm guessing ~1925, in Cleveland he didn't need a license. The salesman took him around the block a couple of times and said, yea you're good. The only licensed drivers were commercial, cabs, trucks, buses.
Somewhere we, the people, gave up our right to drive on public roads, not sure when but then politicians are sneaky.
> I disagree. I'm taking the local "Citizens Academy" and we just had the Police/Sheriff portion of the class. Our local Police Chief stated as much: "you need to have a valid ID (not a VA DL), and it can't go over 35mph, and you have to wear a helmet within town limits. People in town that have gotten DUI's drive them" I think it's a town by town, city by city, county by county, jurisdictional thing. Just like zoning and subdivision ordinances, don't lump everything into one catch all category.

Not doubting you at all there Carl, but how can they require you to have a valid ID to drive a moped when they can't require you to have a valid ID to vote?

Eddie Rickenbacker, America's "Ace of Aces" in World War I, raced at Indianapolis, ran Easern Air Lines, and other interests NEVER had a drivers license or a pilots license. Of course after he started Eastern he could afford to pay someone to drive and/or fly him wherever he went. Captain Eddie was one of my heroes when I was growing up.

My Dad had an uncle and several nephews that lived near him in rural Alabama while he was growing up. Only one person in the family had a license to drive. Back then, there were no pictures on the license, so the whole family shared the license. They just left it in the car and which ever one drove, used the license.
