lil legal question for you guys

I know this can be different state to state but here goes:

My friend was driving and was involved in a wreck that could have gone both ways depending on who tells the story (can't they all). In my eyes I believe both parties are at fault.

Here's the kicker...my friend has insurance on his car and everything's up to date. The guy who hit him had insurance on his car but did not have a valid driver's license. He didn't just forget to get it...he flat out didn't have one.

The officer that came out to the wreck decided my friend was 100% at fault and filled out the accident paperwork. However, he let the other guy drive away scott free with NO driver's license on file.

Now this seems a lil weird to me that the officer let the guy drive off and gave him no part in the wreck even though there's no proof that this guy even knows how to drive a car.

so my question...what do you think the chances are of my friend getting anything positive out of this? I'm gonna say none sincee the officer at the scene said he had a part in it...but I figured I'd ask.

exactly, no one was hurt which is awesome. End of story there...

I was actually driving right beside him when it happened. The officer straight up said that this guy was not legal to drive...yet let him drive away...I remember the one time I was caught and I didn't have my license (left it on my bed), the officer actually made me find a ride home and refused to let me drive my car...even though he had my number and everything

I know what you're saying though...people generally tend to tell white lies

We also had plenty of witnesses that say the other driver was more at fault.

Personally it doesn't matter to me cuz he can handle his own stuff...I was just kinda curious

thankss
