okay here's the situation.
I am the designated driver. Age 16, underage.
and we're at a party my friends are drinking (also underage) and its time to go home. so while we are driving i get pulled over for...a burnt out bulb. My friends have done nothing bad, just drunk and dosing off in the back, the officer smells the alcohol from my friends. he asks me for a breathalizer i give it to him and it reads 0% or whatever.
soo here is my question, are there any consequences to me (the driver)? im pretty sure my friends can't get a ticket for being drunk in public. but for the driver is there any law that I can't be driving underaged drunks, while I'm underaged as well? what can happen? license suspended? fines? etc etc.
yes, yes i know we're not suppose to be drinking at this age, but really who doesnt?
thanx in advance.
edit: I have not been drinking in this situation.
