Geoff:
Vernon wouldn't have to take Harry anywhere. I'm not sure what 
function the DMV has - it sounds like our DVLC (Driver and Vehicle 
Licensing Centre) in Swansea which is the admin centre holding data 
on drivers and vehicles and does not deal with individual tests.

Assuming that Harry had the available money and was 16, there is 
nothing to stop him getting a provisional licence which allows him to 
drive a small motorcycle. He does not have to be accompanied (as he 
would in a car) and would be able to organise his own test date when 
he was 17. The only problem might be money and where to park the 
machine; Petunia might not want it on the petunias.
