I still didn't learn about letting friends drive my cars. I had a 65 Cadillac convertible. Got it cheap and did mechanical work and it ran great. Let my room mate use it when his car was down and he crashed into someone at a stop. It was still driveable and he told me he would take care of everything. Months later I got a letter from DMV saying my driver license was suspended until I resolved the issue with the driver he hit. WTF? His wife told me he had intercepted mail from the other driver and their attorney. I need my license for my job, let alone for driving to work, etc.
That cost me all the money I could come up with plus I was assigned risk for a year. Never again.
