My sister is 18 and my friend is Almost 20

My Question is waht is the punishment/fine for this infraction?

Is there any way i can get out of this?

Answer 1

A failure to obey licensing provisions (Veh C § 12814.6(b)(1)(B)) is punishable by 8-16 hours of community service (Veh C § 12814.6(e)(1)(A)) or a $146 fine (including penalty assessments).  Your license will be unaffected (Veh C § 12814.6(f)).

Answer 2

They may suspend your license.

Answer 3

DMV may suspend your license until you are 18 since you can not follow their rules.  A driver's license is a privilege and they can take it away from you for this incident.
