Re: question
You need to ask your DMV. With out seat belts and turn signals they may not allow.

Re: question
That question has been asked on here before and the answer was always check with DMV! I’ve never heard of an instance where it was allowed! For one thing the examiner would not travel in an unsafe vehicle without Wearing seat belts!

Re: question
Sounds like a good idea but not practical let him drive your model home from the DMV

Re: question
I would think that as long as all your lights work properly, show proof of insurance, your horn works and your left arm can do the turn signals, you are good to go. You will be interpreting the law your way and I'm sure they will see it another way. But a street legal car is acceptable in every other way so why not at the DMV. Go for it

Re: question
If it is legally licensed I would just show up like nothing is out of the ordinary and use proper hand signals etc.,. as required. It takes way more skill to drive an antique over modern one.

Re: question
It's been over 50 years since I took my last drivers test. Do the modern manuals still have hand signals in them? When I tested you had to know how to use hand signals to pass the test. I still use them when driving my A and people think I am pointing at something when I make a left hand turn. LOL

Re: question
I also use hand signals when driving the model A . I often wonder how others passed the written drivers test if they didn't know the hand signals .

Re: question
That would be like driving an '82 now--not unreasonable. Unless you know the examiner, I wouldn't take the chance. I think most examiners are good people but like everything else there are always a few jerks and you might possibly end up with one who doesn't appreciate the cutesy stuff and could find a reason to flunk him--even if he did everything right.

Re: question
Around here I think the inspector would probably get a kick out of the opportunity to ride in an antique, especially if the kid is competent. There are about 100,000 residents around the area, but this ain't exactly mainstream America.
If the kid is not confident and competent, better use something newer. Perhaps a small town DMV instead of the big city hustle and bustle.

Re: question
Better check your insurance. Grundy has something about drivers under 25 years.

Re: question
Contrary to some advice, don’t play games or challenge police, law enforcement or government agencies. They have the upper hand and in a very high majority of cases they will kick your ass. PlayIng by their rules gives you a much better chance of success.
