What happens if you drive someone else's car with no insurance and get in an accident?

You are the one legally in the care, custody, and control of the vehicle and therefore are the one who will be cited for driving without insurance. This is just the beginning of your trouble though. If you were at fault, you are also responsible for the damages done in the accident which may include injuries and damages to the vehicle you hit.

If your wife bought your 17 year old daughter a car without providing necessary insurance but you have full custody after your divorce who is liable if she cause an accident?

Another fine example of irresponsible behavior by people who use their children as pawns in a divorce. Now you are in the uncomfortable position of either insuring your daughter's vehicle or demanding that the mother keep it in HER name. The daughter cannot legally own a vehicle until she is of age and as such, you are responsible since you have full custody. You would be wise to require that the mother put the vehicle in HER name until the daughter turns 18 and can be responsible for her own vehicle.


Is the driver or the owner legally responsibile in an accident?

Insurance stays with the car. So if the vehicle is insured (subject to any policy exclusions) and your 'permissive driver' were at fault then your policy will be primary on all damages. You both however are 'legally' responsible. If you are saying that neither the vehicle nor the driver had insurance. Then you both have a problem, and more than likely the injured party (or their insurance) will come to both of you for reimbursement.
