Thread: unlicensed driver

i let an unlicensed driver drive my car and they ran over the cement block in the front of the parking spot and did 500 dollars damage to my car.. at the time the driver told me they had their license so i took their word for it when i let them drive... when i told them that i would like them to pay for the damage they admitted to not having a license and refused to pay and worse they are saying that the only reason i let them drive was because i was under the influence of drugs which is NOT true, they even called a friend who i have never met to say that they were there when i supposedly did drugs.. i have never done drugs in my life so im not sure how to handle this claim... i dont have money to repair the car myself and was wondering if i have a case if i took it to court.. thanks you for your help

I would say you definitely have a case in small claims court. If the driver claimed to be a licensed driver and wasn't, they are also in violation of the law.

Violation act, driving without licence, and you can sue them for saying word that are not true... Just my opinion and not legal advice. Seek legal counsel.
