I am kindof surprised that if he is able to putter around on his moped for this long that he couldn't get a licence. I would be surprised if the DMV cannot provide someone to read the test to him if he cannot read it himself. Driving does not require a lot of reading, just a few simple words. Otherwise there's also a bicycle or motorized scooters, or a number of other things to carry him around. How big can his neighborhood be?

Had to add a note with regards to the PC conversation as well. I don't see why one couldn't use the term "LEARNING disabled" if they wanted to use a more specific term than 'developmentally disabled.' As 'learning disabled' is a sub-catagory of those who are mostly physically able to function but not mentally able to learn as well. I usually use the disabled terms instead of the retarded 'because retarded' more or less implies to me an inability to learn at all while 'disabled' to me indicates a difficulty to overcome. I think the term disabled is simply more accurate.
