At 15 years old, rule-abiding Rory broke the law when she drove alone.
On the episode, Rory's car gets hit by a deer while she's at a stop sign.
Netflix/The CWOn season one, episode four, "The Deer Hunters," Rory (Alexis Bledel) drove herself to school after oversleeping on the morning of a test, and on her way to Chilton, a deer runs into her car.
In the state of Connecticut, where the fictional town of Stars Hollow is located, you must be 16 years old to get your learner's permit or driver's license.
Even if she was 16, she would still need another licensed driver in the car, a law that rule-abiding Rory would be likely to follow even if she was running late for a test.
