Well, a second offense in PA for driving on a suspended license could result in jail time - the first offense is a "summary offense" with a $200 fine ... the second time around can be a different ball game.
Additionally, the person permitting the unlicensed driver to take the vehicle (that would be you) could be charged with a summary offense AND could be liable for any damages incurred by the unlicensed driver.
Also, the vehicle would be "immobilized" requiring you to appear before a court within 24 hours where you would have to show that your son now has a valid license or it would be impounded. If it is impounded, you would be requried to pay an assortment of fees and fines. You're lucky - in my state you would lose the car for 30 days in this circumstance, and the fees would be close to $1,000 (or more in some areas).
If he took your car without your permission he could be charged with auto theft and sent to prison if you pursued it. If he took your car WITH your permission, you could be charged witht he aforementioned summary offense. If your son is willing to put you at risk and disobey the law for his own selfish whims, you need to reconsider at least parts of the relationship - particularly where he has access to your property.
