Told wife absolutely call the cops I'm on the way.
By the time I got there the local FD had been out for a lunch run so of course they stopped to check on everyone and called it in.
Told the young lady, "sorry but you made a conscious decision to drive without a license. It shows a lack of responsibility which does not make me believe you will take care of this.
Yes, this will suck but this is your problem, not mine.
Welcome to life and dealing with the outcome of poor decision making."
I did pull the officer aside and asked him to go as easy as he could on her. Not let her off but consider giving her the fewest citations he could while still doing his job.

Good call. I had a minor collision when I was 18. Fully insured fully licenced. Should of been paying better attention but one does not expect someone two cars in front to be making a stopped left from the passing lane.
Anyway, cop gave me as high of a citation as he could, and I had a blip on my insurance record for the other party claiming.....1000 dollars.
If the situation is reasonable, police and insurance can really make someone's life hectic unnecessarily.
But no licence? Pathetic.
