Here's an idea. Go to her house and talk to her dad first. If this is a problem then go to YOUR insurance with all the information (lic plate, drivers lic, make model, what happened etc.) Your insurance company will get the information quickly.
Death to the uninsured?

Should they be banished to the dungeon? Beheaded? Forced to watch re-runs of "Benny Hill?" Maybe those punishments are too cruel, but 63 percent of Britain's drivers believe that those who drive without car insurance should be punished, and they don't hold out much hope that the offenders will change their evil ways. Only 31 percent of those surveyed believe offenders should be rehabilitated, according to research conducted by leading auto insurer Co-operative Insurance Society Limited (CIS).
The research was designed to gauge the views and attitudes of insured drivers towards those who drive uninsured. The results were rather harsh. Some 35 percent felt that those who drove without auto insurance were "irresponsible, stupid, a danger, and a risk to other road users." Not only that, but an unreported percentage says they "smelled bad" and "wore ugly clothing."
When asked what their opinions were about appropriate penalties for driving without insurance, respondents were of a firm belief that penalties were too lenient, especially for persistent offenders. And they felt that existing penalties were not an effective deterrent.
What would be an effective deterrent? About 20 percent of respondents thought that uninsured drivers should be banned with six percent believing the ban should be for life. A full 17 percent thought that uninsured drivers should be sent to jail, while a cynical few felt that "just living in Britain is punishment enough."

Erne,
frank,
My vehicle was hit while legally parked in front of my home. I watched as the young girl who lives across the street from me, slowly backed out of her driveway and into my van. In speaking with her I found out that the vehicle she was driving belongs to her father, and she informed me that her father had no insurance on said vehicle. She offered to pay for the damage to my van, but after getting the estimate of 700.00, she hasn't spoken to me since. Needless to say - she's going to stiff me!!!! I have information on her father such as address, and bithdate, and phone number. I would like to find out on my own, if this guy does have insurance and his daughter is just concealing this information from me. Any advice on how or where I can find this information out for free? Thanks Frank-Michigan.
