What happens if an uninsured driver drive an insured car?

Letting an uninsured driver use your car is risky. If the person who borrows your car has their own insurance, that insurance may cover the costs if they have an accident. If your friend causes damage that exceeds your policy’s limits, you may have to pay the rest of the costs yourself, and could even be sued.
