r055f0x	I was just in an accident today in a parking lot. There was minimal to zero damage done. Unfortunatly this was the one day I decided that I would break the law and drive my uninsured car. I live in manitoba, canada. Can anyone tell me how much of a fine I will have to pay? Or if I will definently have to go to court? Different websites tell me different things and it's hard to find the answer. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michelle w	you need to contact your insurance company...so they can review your policy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anonymous	in the us you should have her already named on your policy as a resident in your home. if they find out she lives with you and she is in an accident they will try to get out of it. if she didn't live with you then it would be fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chris	I'm not sure where you are (US vs UK) but in the US you should list any drivers who will be driving your vehicles on your policy. If you don't list her, and she's a resident relative driving with your permission, she will still be covered by your policy. However, once your insurance finds out she is driving (if she has a claim or they find out some other way) they will add her anyway. So better to add her now, but it will hurt your wallet no matter when you add her because she is young and inexperienced. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♀Sweet ♥	It'll cost a small fortune too, because the insurance company will probably assume your daughter is more likely to have an accident while learning to drive. Cheaper than lessons though, I would think. My brother was going to teach me to drive but changed his mind when he found out he would have to up his insurance by about £500! (Or maybe he fibbed about that to get out of it??) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
