I was listening in on a conversation the other day and someone pointed out to me a flaw in the driving laws. He thought it was cool because he could get around the law, but I think it is dangerous. Basically this 21 year old man had a 16 year old friend who had just gotten his temporary license/permit/temps. The 21 year old was not allowed to drive while drunk and the 16 year old was not allowed to drive without an adult in the car. So the two of them spent the night going to bars and the 21 year old drank a lot while the 16 year old didn't drink a thing. The 21 year old was bragging about how the 16 year old could drive him around since there was an adult in the car. For the law requiring an adult to be in a car with a person who only has thier temps, does it say anywhere that the person has to be coherent. Or is it perfectly legal for the 21 year old to be completely drunk?

These laws vary from state to state. In a number of cases, the adult driver must be "responsible" - whatever that may mean to your loophole losers!

May I suggest you contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in the state in question? If in Ohio, it's

Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles
1970 West Broad Street
Columbus, Ohio 43223-1101
(614) 752-7500
