Loaning the car in and of itself is not a crime in most states. However, allowing a person who is not permitted to drive can set you up for civil liability if he is in an accident. Additionally, if he is in an accident or something happens, insurance will not cover the damages, and you could totally lose your vehicle.

Further, if he is caught driving, the car will be impounded, and you will be on the hook for towing and impound fees.

Even though this is not a crime, it would be a very bad mistake.

Another View: According to the motor vehicle codes of some jurisdictions it IS an offense for which you can be cited: "Permitting an Un-Licensed Operator." It is your responsibility, as the owner f the vehicle, to ascertain if the driver you are giving it to is legally permitted to operate it.

If you lend your vehicle to a person without a license or they have a suspended license what is the likely fine or punishment?

In most states, nothing for the owner of the car except possibly having to retrieve their car from impound, but for the unlicensed driver it's a different story. The driver can be hauled off to jail until someone bails you out and pays your fine. They may just be ticketed or warned, depending on the officer.

What is a lend me book on the nook?

Lend Me is when you can lend someone a book from your nook. But you can only lend that person the book once and you can not lend a book more than once. So once you lend a book to someone, you can't lend it to that person or anyone else again until you get a new nook. The person that you lend the book to has 1 week to accept the lend and then they have 2 weeks to read it. I believe the kindle has borrow it or something like that. Also, lend me is free.
