   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
