Laws vary from state to state. However, I don't know of anywhere that it is illegal, but it is very irresponsible.
If a passenger is in the car when the driver is pulled over for driving without a licence, the passenger may be ticketed or jailed, depending on the state, and the passenger would more than likely get a ride home and nothing more.
If you know that the driver of a vehicle is not licensed by the state, you should not ride with that driver. If you are in a car accident, the driver cannot be insured if they are unlicensed, and you could be liable for your hospitalization, ambulance and physician's fees.
In New Jersey it is the driver who rear ended him who is at fault. However, that does not mean that the illegal unlicensed driver will not face deportation.
Driving in a car at any age without a license is illegal. If caught, the car will be towed away and impounded. the licensed driver in the car may also lose his license for allowing the unlicensed driver to drive.
No
Why not. That unlicensed vehicle owner could be disabled and hired a licensed driver to drive the vehicle.
It's illegal to drive without a driver's license, so if they get caught, they could be arrested. Your insurance may not cover the car if you allow an unlicensed driver to drive it, so if there's an accident, you will probably have to pay for it. Basically, don't let an unlicensed driver drive your car, even if they are the co-signer.
NO!
As the driver is unlicensed it could be argued that they did not know how to behave on the road and therefore were the cause of the collision.
Yes
They both are. The logic being that the unlicensed driver shouldn't have been there in the first place, and would not have been involved in the accident if they'd been in compliance with the law.
No, I have never seen a citation for carrying insurance for an unlicensed driver. I recommend that all drivers should be insurance whether they are licensed or not.
Both are held liable.
You can try to sue the unlicensed driver, but if they don't have the money to pay any damages awarded, you are well and truly up the creek.
