In most counties he will appear before a Juvenile Traffic Hearing Referee on an informal basis. If he has no license, then his right to drive (and get a license) will probably be suspended until 18 so long as no alcohol was involved. Add alcohol, figure on the age 21 suspension. It depends a bit on the county and the referee. It also depends a bit on the 16 year-old and how his attitude, grades, etc. are presented.

That's up to the judge. It will be at least until one year -- a minor with 3 points in less than 12 months -- but that's just the CVC. There's the crimminal aspect of it as well and the judge has a lot of leeway in what the outcome will be.
Then there's the issue of impoundment of the vehicle for 30 days.
Don't waste your time on websites, get a lawyer. You need one!

21. Had you no longer hit something it could have been 18. besides the fact that, as quickly as you turn 18, you could petition for a provisional license for artwork and faculty. Then all you should do is get that approved, and then open a company license as a loose lance journalist, then you certainly are technically driving for 'artwork' all of the time, and you'd be cool.

A hit and run in CA is NOT always a felony. California Vehicle Code section (CVC) 20002, hit and run without injury is a misdemeanor. Every case is a bit different. If said driver is a minor, as in this case, most jurisdictions will send him to juvenile court where he will most likely be placed on probation. The judge assigned to the case will make recommendations about license status unless there was alcohol involved or injuries, in which case his license will automatically be suspended. Previous driving record and "points" will also be taken in to consideration.
Please refer to the link below to the vehicle code sections that apply: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/lov/lovd10.htm
Good luck.

there is no such thing as a "minor hit & run" you collide with someone else's property and you damage it then be man"bout it. If he has no licence then the insurance is not valid and he's paying out of pocket. As to what tickets he gets, well that's up to the police & a judge but I hope they go for the max. Hit & Run drivers are cowards, how does he like that tag on his name?

The "hit" can happen to anyone.
The "run" -- now that's bad.
