CONSEQUENCES for an underaged drunk driver that got into an accident as a NEW DRIVER (CLASS 7) BC CANADA?

okay so my friend and i were in a car accident at 2:40am. i was at the back and my friend was driving. i didnt know how much she had to drink but everyone said she was fine.

so we were on our way home and i yelled to turn left and then she was about to change lanes and i guess she didn't do a shoulder check, the car beside us hit her side.



moments later the cops asked if we drank. we both said yes. we admitted to drinking but she stopped drinking around 9-930 she said.

she has no criminal record, her history is clean.

The cops said theyre not gonna give her a ticket. but they did take her license away and towed her car for 24hours



WILL SHE GO TO COURT???? JAILL????? pleaaassee dont comment if ur just





going to say she should. whats the worse that can happen??? WE LIVE IN British Columbia,

CANADA



since the cop said theyre not giving her a ticket... is she getting any tickets at all? would this be a DUI charge? helppp pleasee



since we admitted to drinking, she as the driver took a breathalyzer test.

she scored ';warn'; or 0.05 which is BELOW the fail. for class 5 drivers fail is 0.08 and above. but SHE IS A CLASS 7 (new driver) which means shes not even supposed to have ANY alcohol in her system..



We're both only months from our legal age for drinking.

The cop said he wasnt going to give her a ticket! but a ticket for what? what ticket is he talking about? the only thing he told her was to pick up the car within 24hours. she got a slip saying 24 hour prohibition. they took her license and keys and we can pick it up tomorrow morning.

the reason checked off for the prohibition is Alcohol.



so what ticket is he saying that he isnt giving her? because that slip of paper he gave isnt a ticket.CONSEQUENCES for an underaged drunk driver that got into an accident as a NEW DRIVER (CLASS 7) BC CANADA?
If she didn't get a ticket, you both lucked out. The cop took pity on you. The whole incident did not happen, officially.CONSEQUENCES for an underaged drunk driver that got into an accident as a NEW DRIVER (CLASS 7) BC CANADA?
It's customary when caught drinking and driving to tow someone's car for 24 hours. She did break the law.



She should expect to hear from ICBC pretty soon, either about taking away her licence, or resetting her probationary period for when she is able to take her test for her class 5.
She sure got lucky. The officer should have charged her. I don't think he did her a favour.
