What To Do If You’re Rear-Ended By An Unlicensed Driver? 

You’re on the road coming home after a long day’s work and out of nowhere, you’re rear-ended by another driver. Luckily, you’re able to compose yourself after the accident. You exit your vehicle to talk with the other driver in order to exchange information. 

During the ordeal, you immediately contact the police who arrive at the scene of the accident. Upon further investigation, the police officer learns that the other driver has no license as it has been previously suspended.

The driver who hit you is whisked away and taken to the police station where he’s arrested for driving without a license. Meantime, you’re escorted by ambulance and taken to the hospital where medical professionals can further evaluate your situation.

Believe it or not, the scenario above isn’t unusual. In fact, according to research

by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, in a study entitled, Unlicensed to Kill, available at www.aaafoundation.org/reports, the foundation found that unlicensed drivers are involved in fatal car accidents at a higher rate than licensed drivers.

Having a driver’s license is a privilege aimed at keeping everyone on the roads safe and it’s no surprise that unlicensed drivers are causing a significant amount of car accidents as one offense can easily lead to another. 

Driving without the proper license is a serious matter which can result in the offender facing the legal consequences that follow, but for the driver who’s hit, the consequences might be even greater. 

You may be wondering why a person would drive without a license anyway. This may occur because their license has been either suspended or revoked. There are differences between the two and you can find out more about the differences between a suspended and revoked license here: https://www.findlaw.com/traffic/drivers-license-vehicle-info/drivers-license-laws.html

For the innocent driver, it’s like a double whammy when you’ve been rear-ended by an unlicensed driver. First, if the fact that you’ve been rear-ended isn’t bad enough, you then learn that the person who hit you wasn’t legally supposed to be on the roadways under any circumstances.

Based on the study conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety in the year 2000, 20 percent of all automobile accidents were caused by people who were driving without a valid license. That’s a substantial number of unlicensed drivers to contend with and you want to be prepared if this happens to you.

What to do After a Car Accident

You want to take certain precautions immediately following a car accident and have a well-thought-out plan. Here are some tips to remember:

1. You’ve just experienced a shocking event so gather yourself and take a moment to compose yourself before moving forward. If you are not badly injured, exit your car if you’re able to do so safely.

2. After you exit your vehicle, exchange information with the other driver. Even if the other driver is unlicensed, they may still have insurance and you want to be sure to obtain this information if at all possible. 

3. Contact the police to make a report. This may become relevant later on if you decide to sue the other driver, so intervention by the police will be important.

4. Be sure to report the accident with your own insurance company, but avoid speaking with the other driver’s insurance company without representation by Port St. Lucie car accident lawyers since the insurance company may try to hold statements against you. 

5. Consider hiring a lawyer so that you are properly represented.
