Question: What are the consequences for getting into a car accident with only a learners permit?

Answer: If you're driving with a licensed adult, the consequences will not be any different than anyone else with a license who is involved in an accident. But, if you're not driving with a licensed driver, then you face a 'driving without a license' ticket and possible fines.

I got in an accident with a dumb farmer in Kentucky.... that dumb S.O.B. was on my side of the one lane road and i hit him and now i have to go to court... thatz B.S. they got me with dirving with no licensed driver.... so now i got to worry about getting put in jail..... even though it was his fault the insurance would not cover it because i had no licenses.......

I strongly suggest that you remove your daughter from that car in a quick rush! Why? Well i was just in a freak accident and i had my mother and brother in the car, and i STILL have to go to COURT and pay a fine... even though car B ran into ME. So I strongly advise that she re-take that driving course, pass it, and you teach her how to drive, before she ends up in a serious accident, and with you're knowledge of her drving illegaly, they WILL fine you or lock you up... Trust me....

My 18 year old daughter has a permit and lost it, so is driving without a copy. I paid $600 for driving lessons and she failed driving tests twice and is fearful of taking another test because she will have to take driving lessons again. She is working and driving on her own without a license or licensed driver. I am paying $350/month on car insurance. If she has accident, what could happen to me, her mother?
