Maybe they do know that is the law and they don't care. Maybe he doesn't live at home.

I don't see how this kids parents are at fault. Furthermore, I'm not sure how anyone can make judgments about his actions without any information except he probably consumed alcohol at some point during the evening. Might have been one sip or it could have been a whole 26. He was followed by EMS and eventually the police talked to him. They suspended his license because he admitted to consuming alcohol at some point in the evening.

We can make assumptions that he was followed because he drove erratically, we can assume he was drunk, we can assume he is irresponsible, we can assume he could have killed someone but all they are is assumptions.

All we know is that he broke the rules of GDL driver's licenses and is trying to figure out if he can get out of the 30 day suspension. Making any inferences beyond that are purely speculation and not grounded in any facts.
