Is is legal for a 14 year old w/ a permit to drive on Indiana roads with Dad in the car. If not, what would be the punishment if caught.

That depends. Is the permit Indiana Issued? Is the Father an Indiana licensed driver? Does the permit belong to the 14 year old? If you said yes to all of these questions. The father has to be awake and sitting in the front passengers seat.

Permits are issued so you have the ability to learn to drive. The problem with this is you have to follow the rules laid down and remain in the boundaries the permit was issued in.

What could happen if you have answered no to any of the above questions and you are caught. The father will be issued a ticket and possibly taken to jail depending on the circumstances of why the 14 year old was pulled over. The permit will be revoked and the 14 year old will also be given a ticket and held until an legal adult comes to pick them up. The ticket will have a court date in which the 14 year old will have to appear whereas the judge would have to determine what further actions will be taken.
There is no way anyone can tell you every detail of what will happen except the judge.

NO. If you are caught, it spells INSTANT DEATH!
I-N-S-T-A-N-T D-E-A-T-H!

I would contact your local DMV or Police Dept. to make sure before you do it.

Unless they lowered the driving age, which i don't believe they have, its 15 to get permit, 16 for license, SO my question is, is the kid and father both have Indiana license, if yes, your fine. Now If its not, driver can be hit for driving without a License, and father will be giving a ticket

Y couldn't they there ur allowed to everywhere else aren't u!!

Legal is one thing, permitted is another.

The right people to ask are the (a) Indianna driver licensing authorities (whatever Indianna calls them) for the legal aspects and (b) your dad (for permissin and cooperation)

Legal punishments are laid down by law, anyhting your father might do is at his whim.

Drive safely!

Sounds like you've made up you mind.
