Is it worse to let him practice on the open road? Basically I want to give my little brother a short driving lesson 'cause he's been bugging me about it for months.

Would be unless he has a learner's permit and you are over the age of 18 or 21, depending upon which state you live in.
That being said, also depends on where you live and how aggressive the cops are at giving tickets citations. If you live in the middle of basically nowhere and you have two cops in town that spend most of there time on duty at Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme, then you could probably get by with teaching him in a vacant lot or road...as long as it is not near Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme. Bummer would be if there is an accident of any kind, then you either have to take the rap or let your brother and could affect the status of either of your liscences and absolutely affect your car insurance rates.

teach him in an empty parking lot after hours. Not on the open road. It may be illegal. depends on what state you are in. contact DMV to get correct answer.

It is fine to let him do it in a mall parking lot because it is private property. The open road it is illigal.

You have to have a permit and you have to have someone over 18 in the car with you.

Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Who cares. just do it. A lot of people do that and if a cop stops you, just show him your license and tell hI'm what your doing and im sure he will let you go. No problem.
