Man who phoned into court over suspended license while driving gets learner\u2019s permit Storyful, Webster Law OfficeInternet-famous Michigan resident Corey Harris has successfully gotten his learner\u2019s permit after going viral for phoning into his court hearing for a suspended license while driving. 44-year-old Corey Harris is an internet celebrity thanks to the debacle that unfolded after he phoned into court while pulling into a hospital during a hearing for driving with a suspended license. After getting mocked online, it was discovered that a judge had actually ordered the suspension on his license to be lifted back in 2022, with Harris saying the clerical error was to blame for the whole ordeal. It wasn\u2019t long after that, though, that the very same judge who\u2019d overseen Harris\u2019s viral trial discovered that he\u2019d never even had a driver\u2019s license, in the first place. \u201cLet me make it very clear, based on what the court looked at \u2014 [Harris] has never had a Michigan license. Ever,\u201d Washtenaw County Judge J. Cedric Simpson said. \u201cAnd he has never had a license in the other 49 states and commonwealths that form up this great union. He has never had a license.\u201d Harris\u2019s lawyer said that he\u2019d be working toward getting his learner\u2019s permit \u2014 something the man successfully accomplished on June 7, 2024. The Webster Law Office recorded Harris going in to apply for his permit at the Michigan Secretary of State, and later showed the 44-year-old doing a celebratory dance outside the building after getting cleared. Now that Harris has his learner\u2019s permit, he\u2019s able to practice driving in a vehicle with another licensed adult, something that\u2019s necessary when taking driving lessons and preparing to take a state\u2019s official driving exam. Harris\u2019s lawyer, Dionne Webster-Cox, said that Harris took \u201ca step in the right direction\u201d in a statement to People. \u201cOne day does not make the rest of your life, it can change in a day.\u201d This marks the latest entry in the viral saga following Harris, who has become a veritable online icon thanks to his humorous reaction during his trial that\u2019s now racked up millions of views across multiple social media platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
