Time for your partner to realise all actions have consequences. Lose your license? Walk!!

License & current insurance = driving privileges.

No license & no insurance = No driving privileges.

Easy enough. It’s not even YOU making this decision, that’s the law, so… :woman_shrugging:t3:

You should have led with the “no license” bit. Obviously if he doesn’t have a license he should not be driving, that’s just you being responsible.

No license, no driving the car

Nope not til he gets a license and u add him on the insurance then yes I would.

Well I was gonna say you’re wrong. Especially if he let u drive his car all the time. HOWEVER. No license? Nahhh that’s a hard pass.

Normally I would say that’s wrong, but he doesn’t have a license so I don’t even know why you’re questioning your decision.

I don’t wanna be the one to say it but, baby girl don’t let that scrub drive your car. Keep you and yours safe. If he is unlicensed that sounds like he’s had a few too many tickets of high cost. Like DUIs, at fault accidents, etc. I have an ex husband like that. He’s I think 33 or 34 now and he still has no license, no car in his own name, and he lives off of his new wife he scrubbed his way into living with and mooching off of for the past 3 years. Our eldest son will drive before he ever will again legally. I say this with the utmost respect, drop that zero and get you a hero. :ok_hand: run with your car intact.

If he has no license he has no insurance, so absolutely not.

No license, no drive. Period

He has no license, he shouldn’t be driving anything. Absolutely do not feel bad, you’re protecting yourself and him and yalls only vehicle. If anything were to happen while he was driving your car without a license, both of you would be in legal trouble.

Yeah if you let him it could possibly bite you in the ass because you knew he didn’t have license

You’re not the AH, my bf doesn’t let me drive his for legal reasons. There is nothing wrong with that

Obviously, if he does not have a valid license and you allow him to drive it, then your insurance will not pay if he’s in an accident. It’s being a responsible adult to tell him that he can’t drive it. Help him pay for repairs on his vehicle, then what he does illegally, doesn’t effect you directly.

If he isn’t legal to drive then it’s a no cause of he’s in a wreck then it all comes back on you

If he doesnt have a license then he obv cant drive a car.

Nope unless they help I don’t let them! My ex dented my car right up then said it wasn’t his and wouldn’t help fix it. Lesson learnt. I pay so it’s mine.

If he had his license I’d say yes but without it no not worth the risks

I mean he doesn’t have a driver’s license. If he was to get stopped there is a big chance of getting the car impounded and your insurance rates could be jacked up because of it. How many previous accidents are his fault? I’d say your doing the right thing by not letting him drive your car that you pay for and own. (Unless he’s a cosigner but still wouldn’t let him drive until he has a valid DL)

Our car is mine and I don’t drive it because I don’t have a luisence and the insurance is I’m his name. Dont feel bad.

I’m not sure what state you’re in, but in Iowa you can actually also be cited for allowing an unlicensed person to drive your vehicle along with whatever he gets or if your car is towed. If he wants to drive, tell him to go get his license. Additionally, depending on why he doesn’t have a license and is required to have SR22 and drives without it, the costs can be insane for fines.

No I would not let him drive it either…

No license is a reason enough to keep him from driving it.

Not paying wouldn’t bother be because it looks like he’s helped you before but no license and history of an accident is a big no, no. If he doesn’t have a license and causes an accident it’s bad news.

If you would have led with no license I wouldn’t have had to read the whole thing
If he’s in an accident, he isn’t covered and you would be liable even if it wasn’t his fault ie he is rear-ended at a stop light. That’s a big hard no

No license, no driving. Period.

Don’t let him drive without a license!!!

Well the number 1 reason you’re not wrong is he doesn’t have a license. He can’t legally drive anyway. And then followed with he’s not insured to drive your car. You’re doing what you should do in this situation.

He has no license, so no I wouldn’t let him drive. That could get your car impounded.

I’d tell him to get fked until he gets a license and even then he can still get fked.

I was gonna say yes, you’re the AH, but he doesn’t have a license so I rescind my initial answer.

I wouldn’t allow anyone who doesn’t have a license to drive my vehicle, it’s totally reckless. If something were to happen, you’d be liable just as much as him. If he were serious about it and got licensed, go right ahead at that point.

Are you serious? If he doesn’t have a license that’s the end of story.

No license no driving. If anything happens he goes to jail you are out of a car and should somebody get hurt they will sue you. If he wants to drive first and foremost he has to get a license and pay to be added to your insurance.

No license? There’s your answer.

Omg if he doesn’t have a license then absolutely not!!

Nope. No licence no driving thats what it means. If he crashes your insurance is gone. The car is gone and he will be gone. You will be left with a damaged car and no insurance while paying the loan.

I wouldn’t let my boyfriend drive my car until he had a license and was put in ny insurance. No question

Not covered on your insurance with no license

No license… no driving! Simple

Oh no. He has no license so that’s a deal breaker right there. You have every right not to allow him to drive your car. Now if he had license, then it would be different.

Stick to your guns it’s yours

If he has no licence then no

Once I read the “no license” part I agreed with your decision. NOPE

The no license and accident history make it a no. If he wrecks, your insurance won’t cover it and you’d be SOL.

Honestly your husband is being unreasonable. It is completely your car, and he has no insurance or license. He may trust his own driving, but what about everyone else’s?

If he has no license than no. Tf. It’s yours, do what u want. Don’t let him break it.

Don’t let him drive it’s to bad but you can do better then him

The best way to protect yourself in case he does take the car, have him listed on your insurance as an excluded driver. Then, you can say he took car without knowledge. He would be liable for anything that happens and you would be clear

Don’t lose your car or money to get your car back just so he can drive somewhere. Tell him to get his license and then he can be liable to whatever happens.

I was thinking it might be a little unfair until I got to the part that said “he has no license”.
So no, you’re not wrong.

He has no license? No way, end of discussion for that fact alone

If he’s not licensed, you’re definitely not in the wrong. That’s just negligence on your part if he causes an accident and hurts someone.

I was like wtf until I got to the part where he has no license. No he should not be driving it if he doesn’t have a license. If he did have one it would be a different answer. But since he doesn’t I say you’re justified in saying no

If he has no license don’t let him drive did his license get revoked you would be in trouble

That’s a big fat no from me.

If he doesn’t have a license and gets in trouble while driving it, it could be impounded, and you would have to pay to get it out. That alone is all the reason you need to not let him drive it.

No, but that’s just because he doesn’t have a license. If he had a license I would let him. Especially since he helped you out when you didn’t have a car.

No you are not in the wrong.
He has no licence so isnt covered behind the wheel if he hits and kills someone.
He should be catching the bus and learning his lesson.
If he had his licence id let him. Everyone is capable of an accident. Thats why we have insurance. But definitely not while he has no licence

I was going to say YTA but if he’s not legal, you are not. Your decision when he is legal but if you drove his then… I would expect my spouse to act like my spouse in any situation.

U will be charged as well if he’s caught with no license as he has ur permission. Unless u report him for grand theft auto…

At first I was like hmmm… thats messed up. But then I got to the no license/accident issue.

I dont blame you :laughing:

Yeah big no. If he got into an accident you’re liable for letting an unlicensed driver drive your car and your insurance could sky rocket because of it. It’s nice he let you drive his car but I’m guessing he got into an accident with it so he no longer has it?

Well if he doesn’t have a license. Than absolutely not. That’s against the law & the ramifications that could result in you loosing your insurance etc is much more

If he doesn’t have a license , do not let him drive it , of he gets in accident with your car ,your insurance won’t cover the damages , and you can get sued

I think you are doing things right
Stand your ground

The state won’t even let him drive your car :joy:

Obviously, without a license, no one should drive your car :woman_facepalming:

Umm no you are not in the wrong since he has no DL, you can get in trouble allowing it. If it was a different scenario, I guess that’s your choice, a lot of men have a vehicle that they won’t allow their spouses to drive

I let my now ex drive my car even though he has his own (I own both of the vehicles) and he jacked up my insurance because he rear ended a brand new car at a red light… so no I dont think youre wrong at all :woman_shrugging:t3: Better safe than sorry

I let mine did and a scratch my brand new car but why

No. I won’t let mine drive because he smells bad.

Absolutely Not with out a license or ins! You would be liable for any accidents he got into!

The bottom line is your insurance company will not cover him if he were to get in a wreck . Now you don’t need to feel guilty

Stick to your guns he gets stopped police will impound your car or worse yet he could have an accident snd it’s ALL on u

It’s your car and big trouble driving without a license

Its your neck on the line. Your whole life could be ruined with one accident. No way I would ever without a license I don’t care who it is

Nope you’re not wrong, no license + accident history = no drive its plain and simple

Absolutely not!!! No license…no drivr…

My car however is my car and I don’t lend it out to anyone…

No license and not insured very good reasons to say no tell him get his license back then you can discuss the insurance part right now if he got pulled over you would lose your car

I don’t blame you. He doesn’t need to be driving with no license.

My situation is different. My fiancé (together 8 years) drives my car anytime he wants. He has his own but puts a ridiculous amount of miles on it going back and forth to work… he has to travel 1.5 hours away daily. So if he just has to go to the store, etc, he drives my car. However, I trust him to not be the reason an accident happens and he definitely has a license.

If I was in your situation, I’m positive I would not let my man drive my car until he LEGALLY is able.

I let my ex drive my car however the agreement was if he broke it he paid for it and I drove his car with the same thing however, we were both licensed and don’t have a history of accidents.

Having no license is the issue here.

Absolutely not. 2 people habe driven my truck. My insurance covered them and they had a valid license and i was the passenger.

Otherwise. No. No. No.

No license is a definite nope
How will you explain an accident if it happens. Your insurance will never pay out and flag your account unless you say he stole it!

Not if he’s a terrible driver

As everyone else has said, your not wrong.

Maybe offer rides and help getting his vehicle fixed and/or his license back. He was good enough to help you when you were struggling, maybe help him, but in a way that is legal and less risky. Doesn’t do either of you any good if neither of you have vehicles.

Make him get a license first.

NEVER let a man with no license drove your car.
I’m married to mine but it’s whatever :sweat_smile:
