What is the name of your state? CA
I was driving my father's car which is covered with liability insurance, but i am not covered as a driver. I rear-ended another motorist and we both agreed that it was my fault. The other driver said that he preferred that the police and insurance companies not become involved because he has a provisional license(to and from work only) and was not supposed to be driving at that time. We exchanged information, and now he is presenting me with an outrageous sum that is supposedly the total damage cost to repair his car. My question is, if he was not supposed to be driving at that time, and there was not claims made made to an insurance company, or a police report filed, am legally responsible for the damages?
