[quote=Anonymous]Our Au Pair holds an international driver’s license and is responsible driver.She was hired mainly to drive the kids around. She uses my husbands car and is currently driving the kids on her international license.she and the car is insured.She has a very busy social life where she drives all around the town  with her AP friends. She is comfortable with the driving. Anyways, Virginia state  says that you need to obtain a license within 6 months upon your arrival.The concern we have is that she has completed 5.5months of her contract and has still not obtained a US License.She has taken her drivers written test thrice now in Spanish and unfortunately has not been able to pass them.When we inquired on her drivers test situation and her plans or next steps.She said not to worry, she has it under control from advice from her AP friends.She also mentioned that there are APs out there who drive with their international license  and the host families are fine with it and are flexible.She also mentioned when she passes the test, she would obtain a learner’s permit (like her friends have done) which extends her 6 month license requirement.Reading the DMV website it says for a learner’s permit, you need an adult that has a full license, sitting besides the driver while driving (which we cannot do).Within a 15/20 days she needs to take the written test and road driver’s test. We are really worried how this will impact our family. 
Like any family household, we have a hectic schedules, DMV has insisted she now takes a class (which we will pay for 300 bucks or so) to even be eligible to sit for a written test for the fourth time.Should we wait it out for a month? or think of next steps?
