Those sound alot like ours I must say...but about the driving without license we get fined and have to go to traffic school or something like that anyways, and for driving while intoxicated we get either jail, or fined and we get our licence suspended :) I luckily have never gotten in trouble with the law while driving so I really dont know if I said all this correctly, im sure someone will be along shortly to correct me:lol
