Update from today. He never had a valid driver's license. My wife just played me the whole session from today. Some interesting items:

• His suspension wasn't lifted, not because of a clerical error, but because he didn't pay it.
• The suspension was irrelevant anyway because he never had a driver's license. With the suspension, if he had gone in and taken the test to get a license, it would have immediately been suspended and he couldn't drive, but that's moot because he didn't have a license.
• When the cops pulled him over, they asked if he had a license and he said no.
• It turns out that he has a warrant out for his arrest for a driving violation in another county, so they took him to jail.

All the crap he said about being innocent was just lies.
