Q. In order to get a break for driver license insurance from the insurance company and to be allowed to take the test 8 months after taking the permit test instead of a year later they require new drivers to take inclasses for 10 hours. There is a driving school that offers in classes for 5 hours and you need to sign a form that you took in classes (not sure if it says on the form that you did 10 hours or just that you took the inclasses) Is it considered stealing from the insurance company to take this shortcut of 5 hour inclasses if they officially only offer the break for inclasses that they assume would be 10 hours the correct amount that inclasses is supposed to be. Is it considered gneivas da’as from the government to take the test at 8 months instead of a year. Is it possible to answer the shailos each separately.
Thank you very much!
(After asking for further clarification, the next was received:) There are 2 papers you sign. One is a test that he fills in and you sign the bottom (as if you took the test but it’s not government test he makes it – in order to pass the course every student needs to get minimum of 70). The other is an attendance sheet you sign showing that you were the class. He gives you 10 attendance sheets to sign, each sheet is signed with a different pen and a random date but it’s really 3-4 hours in total. He is allowed to give a break so he may just let’s out early instead making it shorter but it still doesn’t add up to 10 hrs.
A. Horav Shlomo Millers Shlita opinion is that if one has to sign statements that are untrue, one should abstain from joining that school.
