What happens if an uninsured and unlicensed person has an auto accident?

Answer

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. Their presence on the road is considered the first in the chain of events that lead to the accident.

Answer

Depending 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.

Answer

Would you please provide me with the supporting legislation, rule or other that substantiates this. My son was involved in an accident with an unliscensed 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."
