Yes, and there's a good chance they will.
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.
The at fault driver always has the primary liability for the damages they cause in an accident. (The guy who rams the other guy).
No. Just the fact of being unlicensed does not mean that the driver did something that caused the accident. Being unlicensed is what is called a non-moving violation. Another violation of this type may be not having a current registration tag on the vehicle. Just because you don't have a tag on your car doesn't automatically make you at fault for someone hitting your car. Fault for the accident will have to be determined by the police officers after they investigate the scene and take statements from witnesses. The person who is driving without a drivers license will get a ticket for not being licensed and then whoever was at fault will receive a violation for whatever they did to cause the accident.
With a warrant or with reasonable cause, yes.
If you live in Detroit, they will cause that car to disapear, and never be seen again.

Liability of Uninsured Drivers in the USA.The at fault driver is always the primary person liable for damages from any accident they cause whether licensed, insured or not. Licensed status does not negate liability. In the U.S. both the at fault driver and the registered vehicle owner can be held financially liable. If no nsurance is avalable, you owe personally for all the damages and may have some fines to pay as well.Happy MotoringWrong Answer for USA, Perhaps valid in some other countriesIf an unlicensed driver is involved in a automobile accident, they are, by default, responsible due to the fact that they are not legally operating a vehicle. Their presence on the road is considered the first in the chain of events that lead to the accident. AnswerDepending on how serious injuries were, if any, this type of crime carries about the same weight as Driving while intoxicated. You will probably do jail time and if you ever get licensed will need an SR-22 slip often. AnswerWould you please provide me with the supporting legislation, rule or other that substantiates this. My son was involved in an accident with an unlicensed driver and the State of NJ Department of Insurance and Banking had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned David Adam's answer which read, "If an unlicensed driver is involved in a automobile accident, they are, by default, responsible due to the fact that they are not legally operating a vehicle. There presence on the road is considered the first in the chain of events that lead to the accident."
Not likely. Some sort of criminal offense must take place before the state can impound your property. Usually, in a traffic stop, this is acknowledged by the ticket, which in essence is a summons to appear in court. It is possible in the scenario above if the driver of the vehicle is arrested rather than issued a ticket. Without some action by law enforcement against the driver of the vehicle (provided only the driver is present in the vehicle), the state can show no probable cause for impounding the property.
You need to have a lien on the vehicle and reasonable cause to repo it, whether it be late payments, risk of losing the vehicle in impound, etc.
Cause youll get caught
