In your story, I believe the cop did the kindest thing he possibly could have. He could have impounded the car, issued tickets for no license, etc. Instead he offered a solution that wouldn't put an extra financial burden on a parent.
The parent wasn't just "not 100% legal to drive", he was 0% legal to drive. No license, and therefore also no insurance.

Sorta true. Your vehicle registration is tied to your birthday as it gives everyone with the same birth month the same expiratory month. So someone with a birth date in June for example might have the registration expire in December.
This is a good point though. Again it show's how stories get spun about issues someone is ignorant about.
