No you wont get points in the UK. The police might want you to give evidence/ make a statement as a witness to the accident.If have a tag# how do I find out whos it is?
You cannot be prosecuted for the drivers offence unless you assisted in the deception in any way. In which case you would have aided and abetted the offence. You are lucky that you had no injury as without the insurance you would have found it difficult to make a claim on your friend. The police took all your details as you are a witness to the accident and can testify as to the way in which the driver was handling the car etc. I always ask any person that I agree to be a passenger with if they are insured. This may sound extreme but over the years I have had the answer NO on a number of occasions. There were various excuses but as a passenger I would be exposed as you were to possible injury with no hope of compensation.If you didn't know I cant see why you would get in trouble. And I dont see how even if you did. It not like when someone drinks and drives. If you are a passenger in a car and the driver is pi$$ed you can get done then.

In order for the police to prosecute you they would have to be 100% sure that you travelled in the veichle knowing it had no insurance. It is not for you to prove your innocence, it is the job of the police to prove your guilt. The case will be against the driver as it is an offence to drive a motor veichle with out insurance. However if you wish to make any claim for injury ect, you will have to claim against the driver. Dont worry they cant touch you if you were unaware of the driver having no insurance.Geico...is it really easy for a caveman to make a claim?

Only if you're female! We all know how women like to drive from the passenger seat!
They took all your information because of the accident for insurance purposes. They also ran a warrant background to see who's looking for you!
PS: They can't charge you regardless of whether or not you knew the driver was driving without insurance! It's not your job to police other drivers! The previous author hasn't a clue! The only time would be in the event of a "stolen" vehicle and you were a passenger or if they found drugs and/or paraphernalia!

if the car was stolen your an accessory after the fact. as for your license it wont be touched but you may be depending on the crime. just plead ignorance and the mercy of the court. if it was a mate giving you a lift, well hes not much of a mate giving you a lift without knowingly having insurance. the cops took all your details because you were at the scene of a crime. i once reprted an affray on the phone to the cops, by the time they double checked my details the affray turned into attempted murder. its standard procedure dont worry too much about it.Cheap insurance in northern ireland?
The onus is on them to prove to the CPS / PF that you knew the car wasn't insured when you got into it. This in itself is pretty difficult to prove if you plead ignorance. It's not your responsibility as a passenger to make sure the driver has insurance..you automatically assume that the car is insured if it's on the road.If the driver is your friend...maybe he would vouch for you that you were unaware of the situation.
They have to take the details of anyone involved as you are potentially a witness to the accident...whether the car had insurance or not.
Basically...unless the car was stolen or filled with illegal or stolen goods..you should be ok.
