OP, the answer your question, the possible consequences are that you lose everything you have, will have and ever hope to have because of negligence on the part of your "friend".

People who ask what can happen "if" usually already know, they are seeking a way out so that they can argue with their own conscience.

Except of course, that there has been Federal precedence set that requiring a driver to be licensed unless during the course of work is Un-Constitutional, lol.

But, that's a long drawn out fight for another day!


As for the OP, it's a cake-walk to get a permit/license; I would NOT let her drive my lawn mower with the attitude she has, lol! But then again, I would almost threaten her with divorce if she broached the driving w/o a license again. Drag her butt out to the sticks on an old dirt road, or if that isn't possible, then the airport and make her practice until she won't kill someone. Either way, good luck!

You obviously don't understand the point of my posts/question. I am trying to find information to back up what I have said. Perhaps reading from others and seeing it on official web pages will make her think.

And no, I'm not a troll.

And no, she hasn't driven on the road in my car. Only an empty community collage parking lot and on the beach!

I drove with a suspended license for 6 months after a DUI and had no problems whatsoever. As long as you're prudent you have nothing to worry about. I even sped on occasion. If you're trying to get a job it is kind of sketchy, I just gave them my passport as my ID and they were ok with it though.

And what happens when you get in an accident and hurt/kill someone? Nevermind the OP already also said the little bit she drove she did not do very well.

The biggest stick here is deportation. If she kills or hurts someone, she will be on the first flight back to Colombia as soon as she gets out of jail. Probably, most of her friends that drive without a license are illegal and don't give a rat's a$$ if they get caught. Her case is different since they went through all the trouble to get a green card, only to lose it over something so silly.
