Impaired Driving Penalty Changes

No the drunk should not be on the road. I'm interesting in who is at fault for the accident.
What if son or daughter without a driver license goes for a joy ride in mom's car. While at waiting at the lights. a sober, licensed driver approaching from behind hits the gas instead of the brake and smashing into mom's car. Would it still be the teenagers fault for the accident?

If they stole the car and have no licence, yup the teenagers would be at fault. would the cops also charge the driver of the car that hit them from behind? probably

Walk me through how they are at fault for the accident, for being hit from behind.

And what would the driver of the car (behind) be charged with?

1 - If they stole the car and have no licence, means not legal for the road
2 - rear hit probably automatic charge, but that one would be debatable

Not legal for the road doesn't mean they are at fault of the accident in this situation.

Cop could charge careless, but unlikely. Im sure this situation happens every hour in this city. Doesnt seem serious enough to warrant one.
