Question Can the duly licensed parent be intoxicated while a person with a class DJ license is driving?
Answer Hi Sandra and welcome to AllExperts!
The DJ class refers to a Junior driver, or someone having a learners permit. This classification clearly requires a supervising driver who is at least 21 years of age, and who also has a valid license for the vehicle you are driving.
This means that the parent MUST follow all the requirements, rules and limitations that the driver is required to follow. As a driver cannot be intoxicated, neither can the supervising parent.
