I just bought a new car and my friend asked my to let her drive my old car for a couple of weeks.
I no longer have insurance on it, and she has a Croatian, not a US drivers licence.
Should I let her drive it? What would happen if she got in a accident? Would I get in trouble?
Is there some sort of short term insurance he could get (without US licence)?

If your friend is not listed on your policy then do not let her drive it. If she is involved in an accident both of your are responsible but you more.

Basically insurance follows the vehicle. Since your vehicle no longer has insurance, anyone who drives it, is considered and UNINSURED MOTORIST. Since you are the owner, if she gets in an accident and it is even 1% her fault (depends on the state the accident occurs in) you would be held liable for the accident. Therefore if she gets in an accident and kills someone, they can sue you and you would be held liable.
**SOOOO** if you do let her drive the car, get insurance. You can purchase a 6 month policy, some insurance companies may have 3 month periods. It doesn't matter who drives the car or who owns it. Anyone can purchase car insurance, as long as there's a car to insure.
AND - if you own a car that's uninsured, that's a liability you are taking a risk on. You might as well get rid of the car, or get minimal insurance on it. You are breaking the law by having an uninsured vehicle - regardless of if you drive it or not.

I would say.....NO...that would be the stupidest thign you could do. if she gets in an accident you will be paying for it out of your a** and your relationship wiht her will probably be over isnce money ruins all relationships. If it is your old car why dont you sell it to her for a reasonable price, then you'll be a good friend while not puting your own neck on the line.

This is an easy one. Under no circumstances let her borrow your car. She shouldn't be driving anything without a US driver's license. You will be responsible for any damage, it could ruin your life.

Man, I wouldn't. If you own the vehicle, you could be responsible for someone else's accident. Contact your insurance agent to see what the rules are in your state.
