Negotiate what? Unfortunately the law doesn't make a note that it's ok to break curfew if you have with your parent's permission. Even so, he still should have had his driver's license in possession. I'm not sure what defense he can give the judge other than "I shouldn't have listened to my parents" - but I'm not too sure how that would fly with most judges.
Bottom line is - these are all relatively minor charges. The traffic infraction and the ticket for failing to carry the license have standard fines. He can pay them and move on and just have to eat the higher insurance costs likely to follow since the stop sign failure was a moving violation. For the curfew - it's possible that the judge will simply remind him AND YOU that parental rules don't trump state statutes or city or county ordinances, etc. He might get a few hours of community service or another fine, but it's not like he's going to be looking at "doing time".
