This just blows my mind,  My DH was involved in a accident this evening.  He is ok, his car is not.  The other driver had no license, but the car she was driving has insurance.  How does that happened,  Don't you need a license to buy and insure a vehicle?   The deputy said she will receive a criminal citation.  Does anyone have experience with this?

You have to have a license to drive. You are lucky they have insurance. No it doesn't make sense. Some people just don't use common sense.

OK, I have often wondered about this too. I know someone, actually a family member, who does not have a license, her insurance is in her boyfriends name.

You are required to have license and insurance in CO.
I would think all states carry this law
Registration of vehicle also?

You need to watch the TV show “Live PD” and see all ( and I mean all) of the cars topped for minor things....no one, I mean no one has a freaking valid license or any ID for that matter!  Over and over this goes on!  It’s unbelievable!

 

My friend was recently hit and the young driver had no license and no ID, nothing!  His insurance ended up paying for his car to be fixed....then, while driving to the auto body shop his car was hit again!  This is true.

 

The driver didn’t have insurance but did have a ( are you ready) expired license!

 

When he told me about the second incident I thought he was kidding!  He wasn’t.

 

His car was totaled and he had to get a new one.  The totaled car was ( before) perfect...not a scratch.  He doesn’t like the new car and wishes he had his old one back.

 

I’ve been in a lot of bad accidents.  None were my fault.  

 

It’s like the Wild Wild West out here in Northern Virginia and going to get worse when Amazon gets here....

 

I don’t work so I’m on the road during the day.  Doesn’t matter.  There’s so much traffic in this area 24/7...it never ends!

 

Again, you and your husband needs to watch Live PD on the A&E channel.  

 

Come me back here afterward and tell me and others if I’m exaggerating....I’m not!

I was hit by someone who had a license but no insurance. He was at fault. I went to the hospital.  He didn't. I spent six months sorting out the paperwork.  He didn't even get cited. 

so yes, I agree that being involved in an accident with someone who is insured, is a better scenario.
