I have got a job which I basically lied to get, assuming all

What license are you waiting on?

>>18249848
Driver's. Due to be able to get it four days after the start date, unfortunately three states away. The minumum learner's permit period exemption I was banking on coming back by now has not yet been processed.

Do you need it for your job or just to drive to your job? You could take a train or bus or something otherwise or just try not to get pulled over. Or if need it for the job itself, you could tell them you lost your wallet and are waiting on a new license. Also, it's been a while but don't you get a temp license until you get the actual thing?

Or you didn't take your test at all yet, in which case advice still applies.

I can't take it yet, still within the minimum required period, and I will need it for work probably by week 3 at most.

I could use transport and say my wallet went missing at a bar, I have considered that. Why I wouldn't go to the DMV or whatever they are called and get a temporary paper permit I don't know. I could combine that with car repairs, I did just get a new gearbox, but both those together might start to look a little convenient.

I did just consider driving up unlicensed. It's maybe three fairly solid days driving however. I have only been pulled over once, but I would likely be travelling on a holiday and could run foul of a breath testing station or bored rural cops with nothing to do, particularly if I'm driving at night. It would also be very difficult to explain why I haven't submitted my license for checking.

The first paragraph is more acceptable, but I'd have to shift swap at the end of my first two weeks to line up a 4 day weekend with which to fly back and do my test and bring back the car, if anything goes wrong there it will fuck the timing.

So while highly drastic there are a number of factors which make a self inflicted injury worth considering.
