Walk It Through: The Young Driver and the Keys

One beer at a cookout, an open can in the cupholder, a stop on the way home, and the friend who bought the beer.

At a cookout, a driver under twenty one has one beer and plans to drive home in an hour.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A young driver and a car of friends after a cookout. A DUI over 0.08, a fake ID, and a house party charge are left to their own pages.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
