More details to this question:
My boyfriend and I were in a DUI accident in the state of Pennsylvania. He was driving my car, without a license and on parole for his first DUI. We were both extremely intoxicated and I willingly let him drive, thinking that he was better off than me. What are the penalties that both of us could be facing?

If you knew he had no license, there is a summary charge for letting someone drive your car whom you know is unlicensed. if you let him drive your car, aware he was intoxicated, I am not sure if the cops could charge you with anything like Reckless Endangering Another Person. I haven't seen it charged in your circumstances.
