A lot of the same ideas as here, and likely in many places. I dont know how it
would affect the driver's license of someone from another province, or country.
I think if we have a reciprocal with that province then action will be taken by
the other province regarding license suspension. With the USA it may be more
difficult, because even there, each state has their own rules. The impound and
the fine however happen. Likely also sent to they home province/state
authorities
As for Junior taking Dad's car, I guess Dad would have to report the car stolen
