Your size and weight has NOTHING to do with your maturity.
The reason for a provisional license is to demonstrate, (prove) that you are a resposible and safe driver. This means that you PROVE that you are mature enough to obey all traffic laws and have earned the right to carry a full driver's license. It's one of the reasons you aren't allowed to drive by yourself for a period of time.
Now, I can't say for Texas, but most states should also understand that things like light bulbs can burn out at any time. You might be the most responsible driver in the world and check ALL your lights every morning before you start out, and, without warning, a brake light could go out between one intersection and the next.
If a cop notices a light burned out, he will probably do you the courtesy of pulling you over and letting you know about this hazard. Sometimes this takes the form of a "fix-it" ticket, meaning that you are expected to get the problem repaired right away and get the ticket "signed off." This is NOT a moving violation and won't go against your record. (unless you choose to ingore the ticket, in which case, it will show up on your record as a "failure to appear," the same as if ignoring any other court notice) In other words, you won't lose your license over it as long as you weren't breaking any OTHER laws regarding your permit.
Now, SOME officers, noting your young age and inexperience, while you are stoppped, will give you, your car, and your documentation a very thorough examination. He's not picking on you. He's just doing his job. It's all part of your being a fifteen year old driver. Just do YOUR part right by keeping your documents up to day, your car in reasonably good repair, and your driving habits clean.
And don't claim any more "maturity" than you have earned. |

If you are driving on a permit without the required qualified licensed driver in the car with you, not only can you possibly lose your permit until 18 (or even 21), but you could see your car going down the road on the bed of a rollback on it's way to the impound yard.
The fines are not cheap & you will incur points on your permit. Not the kind of driving record you want before even getting your actual license.
Remember this one very important fact- TX is not under any obligation to give you a license. There is no right to drive. You are given the privilege to drive by the state of TX. You violate the rules, that privilege will be taken away from you- either temporarily or permanently. |
