How do you report someone driving with no car insurance?
I am interning at a school and have a troublesome student who I overheard bragging about never purchasing car insurance. I want to avoid causing more conflict between us but make sure he understands how dangerous and expensive that could be. Is there a way I can report him for driving without car insurance?
