The fact is that she drove an unregistered vehicle which is against the law. It is the drivers responsibility to be aware of things like that. What would the cost be if she had caused a major accident resulting in millions of dollars of damage in an unregistered vehicle not covered by 3rd party property damage....or any insurance for that matter? Who would pay for that? These laws are there for a reason and what makes me grumpy is people who think they don't apply to them!
