If you are a passenger in another person's vehicle, and that person is driving without insurance, you are not liable either civilly or criminally. You are not breaking any law. You simply endanger yourself since any accident he gets into that results in an injury to you will not be covered - you get to pay for your own medical care.
I have stopped drivers and found them not to be insured. The driver got a very expensive ticket and the car got impounded. Everybody walked. . . |

If you are the passenger in the car with the uninsured driver, I don't think it's against the law, but you shouldn't travel with them for your own safety. If that driver is involved in an accident, you will have a hard time getting your medical bills covered. I know most people don't think about that, but there is a reason why they are called 'accidents'. |

Yes. Aiding and abetting. Ignorance is no defence under the law and if there's an accident and you get injured you'll probably get nothing. Not too certain whether you can be held accountable for damage and injury to someone else in the event of an accident. Probably
ps for 'you' read 'them or they' lol |

The passenger is not responsible, but the driver can be held responsible in the event of passenger injury, up to and including incarceration.If the passenger has knowledge of the lack of insurance then they can be held responsible for endangering their own life by making the bone-headed decision to ride with an uninsured driver.Notthat they would necessarily be charged with self-endangerment, but in my view, anyone who would ride with an uninsured driver ought to be charged with cluelessness in possibility, and made to suffer the pebble path of enlightenment. |

The only way the law will know if the driver is uninsured is if he gets in an accident. I know that some states require insurance, so I guess it's best to either make sure the car you're in is insured or find another ride. A passenger rarely gets in trouble for the driver's problems, unless drugs or alcohol are involved. And if you do get in an accident, you are responsible for your own hospital bills, which can be very expensive. That's why I won't let anyone drive my vehicle that isn't insured either. It messes with the insurance rates too. It's best to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles to be sure. But I sure wouldn't want to take a chance and find out the hard way. <*)))>< |

No the passenger won't be breaking the law.
It's only the owners responsibility. |

the person who has to be insured is the driver...riding in a car with an uninsured driver is not against the law...however it is putting the passenger in an extremely dangerous position if there is an accident, and the driver can be sued for any injuries to the passenger resulting from any accident that the driver may have... |

no your not, but as said you are risking your life with an uninsured and also inexperienced driver, and theres 33% more chance of a crash with an inexperienced driver when theres a passenger in the car, think about it. |

Potentially aiding & abeting, but you could always plead ignorance to the fact that they were uninsured. |
