It varies from state to state.

In Ohio, the penalty could range from fines and suspension to jail time depending on the circumstances.

usually you will get a warning but in cali i know that they warn you and if your with a licensed driver they make them drive.

and if your not they can tow the vehicle and you will have to wait until ur 18 to get ur license

Answer 4

well here in texas they could give u a fine and also u cant get ur license untile u are 18

Answer 5

I guess it depends whether you do not have a license period, or you have one, but not with you.  In the former case there would likely be a suspension.

The vehicle could also be impounded (towed), and some states will suspend the license of anyone knowingly allowing someone without a license to drive.  So it can get expensive and inconvenient.

Answer 6

Where I live in Arkansas, you will walk from wherever you are stopped unless you can call someone.Vehicle will be towed and impounded until the owner claims it (and pays a fine for allowing an unlicensed person to operate it) You will be fined and probably lose the opportunity to obtain a license until at least 18 and most times, 21.
