==Breaking traffic rules==
Sometimes young drivers break the traffic rules. What happens to the youth depends on how serious their actions are.
<blockquote>'''For example '''- youth may be speeding, or fail to stop at a stop sign. They will get a ticket and may have to pay money.
If youth are caught driving dangerously, it is serious. They will be charged with a criminal offence and have to go to youth court. </blockquote>
==Street racing==
Street racing is a very serious offence. People under 18 years old will go to youth court. Drivers 18 years old and older go to adult court.
