Normally the permit is revoked. The driver must then retake the driver's test in order to obtain the permit again.
The actual driver. Unfortunately, if the driver is your kid, and you're adding your kid to your insurance policy, it could affect your rates.
Dependant upon WHOM the learner was insured with, who's vehicle he/she was driving, and the legalities such as "was there a licensed driver in the car at the time of accident"? all these things play a role. Contact a lawyer or your broker for a definite answer, but yes, in some instances, the parents can be liable.
Insurance follows the car, not the driver. If you had permission to use it you should be fine. If you were cited for a traffic violation, you should just pay it ahead of time and then apologize profusely to your friend, since you just raised his rates for several years. If there was an accident and it involved any serious amount of money / injury, shell out the $70 and ask an attorney.
Learner or veteran driver, if the accident wasn't your fault you are not responsible, but it has to be proven in a court of law (if it was a serious one) and if on the minor side and the police came to the scene of the accident it depends on their report as well. Good luck Marcy
they get in jail for not having a licence and driving.
The driver gets arrested but if it's a learner with a L plate you have to have someone who's 21 or older and as had 3 years driving experience.
Most cases you get jailed if the accident is severe. If its not too much you get a ticket for driving without licensed driver. Depends on country to country though
Typically, the uninsured driver will be cited for it, and your insurance co. is liable for the damages.
A learner's permit is a driver's license with significant restrictions. A person driving with a learner's permit typically must have a licensed adult driver in the front passenger seat.
Several companies offer car insurance for learner drivers including the AA, Aviva and City Insurance. If the learner driver is going to be learning in a car owned by a qualified driver with their own insurance policy it may be possible to add the learner driver to that policy for a nominal fee.
Absolutely not. A driver with a learner's permit is presumed to be driving with the same caution and, along with his co-driver (ie, the adult next to you), similar experience. Your parents shouldn't see any rate increase in their insurance premiums if, as you say, you weren't at-fault for the accident.
