MAN, 84, ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING AN UNLICENSED DRIVING SCHOOL FROM HIS OWN DRIVEWAY
MAN, 84, ARRESTED AFTER RUNNING AN UNLICENSED DRIVING SCHOOL FROM HIS OWN DRIVEWAY PEORIA, ILLINOIS — Walt Hendricks, 84, was arrested Wednesday after code enforcement discovered he had been running a full unlicensed driving school out of his driveway for the better part of a year, complete with cones, handouts, and a hand-signed certificate of completion. Officers say neighbors first reported the operation after counting seven different teenagers pulling into the cul-de-sac in a single afternoon, all wearing matching "STUDENT DRIVER" magnets. He allegedly taught parallel parking using cones in his driveway and charged $20 a session He wrote his own handouts and issued a hand-signed certificate on completion Every one of his forty-two students reportedly passed their test first time Investigators found a laminated course diagram labeled "Parallel Parking Course" with exact cone spacing He reportedly kept a spiral notebook grading each student's three-point turns out of ten Neighbors said Hendricks had become something of a local legend, with parents reportedly requesting him by name over the county's actual driving instructors. One mother said her son "learned more in two Saturdays with Walt than six weeks at the real place." "I've cited people for chicken coops and above-ground pools," said inspector Renee Aldous. "Never a full DMV curriculum with a passing rate better than the actual DMV." The hand-signed certificates, forty-two of them, reportedly declined to comment. He taught them to parallel park straight — now the county's got him boxed in. Images and full story copyrighted TBC Viral Media 2026. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
