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
