Learners Permit + Intoxicated Adult = ?


I've had my learners permit for quite some time now, and I have always been a designated driver for my parents or friends or whatever. One question has been on my mind though. Is it legal to drive with an intoxicated 21+ year old as the adult, or do they have to be sober? I know you legally have to have a 21 y/o adult with a valid license in the front passsenger seat (or 18 y/o spouse...odd I know...), and common sense tells me that it's probably illegal, but I would like to know without a doubt. Does anyone know the penalty if cought if it is illegal?

Death.

The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Technically I dont think it is, but in Drivers Ed, it was mentioned a Cop wouldnt get you in trouble for doing the right thing and having you drive.

It's not exactly the most responsible course of action is it?

But it is a good way of getting driving experience though.... experience of not letting drunk people into your car or face the smell of vomit

Well, when it comes to my Dad it's not really a choice. Either I drive my dad home so he's at least semi safe, or he'll drive home drunk. I really don't want him doing that, seeing as how he was just in jail a couple years ago for too many DUI's .

Edit: I'm not looking at this as a experience kind of thing. I am just worried about what happens when I do something stupid by accident and a cop pulls me over while the only adult is a drunk one in the passenger seat...

It will depend on the state, but generally it is a competent PARENT/GUARDIAN (not just a 21+) who is fully alert at the time.

Tell him to stop being a stupid motherfucker. Either get a cab, have a friend drive him, or... OOH! STOP GETTING DRUNK!

It's better if you drive him and risk getting pulled over by a cop (who will probably be understanding) instead of having him drive drunk and risk injury or life.

No... it isn't legal... with a learners permit you need an aware (sober) parent/guardian (over 18) or a sober friend (over 21) to watch you...

Don't know about your state, but here I know for a fact its 21+ adult or 18+ year old spouse.

Anyhow, maybe I'll get lucky and he'll stay here past 11. Then I can force him to stay over (I'm at my moms). He doesn't want to believe that he has to be sober, but if I can give the "Can't drive between 11pm-5am law" in addition to that I should be able to get him to stay.
