Driving in an uninsured car has serious and expensive consequences.
You will receive a traffic violation. Your license can be suspended.
The police can tow and impound the vehicle. The vehicle can't be released until proof of insurance is procured. The impound fees add up quickly and the tow company can send your car to auction if the fees are not paid within the statutory time period for your state.

You should call and report this to the police. Also, you should contact your insurance company and advise them about this.

Who is liable if you borrow someone's car get into an accident and neither one has no car insurance?
Assuming that the driver of the borrowed car was at fault, both the owner and driver can be held liable. The injured party will probably sue both. Whenever you borrow someone's car, ALWAYS demand proof of liability insurance before taking the keys because if this happens not only can you be sued but you might loose driving privledges until the injured party has been compensated in full, unless the person you hit had UNINSURED MOTORIST coverage in which case you'd definitely be off the hook but your friend's car would be siezed and auctioned by police for sure.
