Uninsured Drivers
If they have an accident, since you gave them permission to drive, Then you as the owner as well as the driver are financially liable for all damages and losses incurred.
The injured parties can sue either or both of you. They can sue you both jointly or separately for the full amount. Hopefully you have good auto insurance though.

If your friend gets a speeding ticket in your car and is NOT insured but you are and they didn't give the officer your insurance info what will happen?
In the US insurance has nothing to do with speeding. If your state has mandatory insurance, the fact that your car is insured is good enough but the officer may want to see proof of insurance. Here it is the vehicle that is insured, not the driver. In UK you should not let anyone drive your car on the public road without checking they are insured. You can be fined if you let them drive without insurance.
Can a person let someone use their car if that person does not have insurance?
The correct answer to this varies from state to state.

Will an uninsured licensed driver be ticketed when driving an insured car in an accident?
Yes. If the driver is not an insured, the uninsured driver can be ticketed even if the car itself is insured. In many U.S. states they will also impound the vehicle when it is found being driven by an uninsured driver. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to insure that anyone you let drive has appropriate coverage. Unfortunate there is a lot of misinformation out there from laymen that erroneously informs people that anyone who drives the car is insured. This is simply not true. Your will have to see your policy definitions for a covered driver or contact your insurance agent for clarification of when a driver is considered covered under your the terms of your auto insurance policy.

Can an insured car be driven by an uninsured unlicenced driver with permission of the owner?
I can give permission for my 5 year old to drive my car, doesn't make it legal or in any way sensible. I don't care who they are, there's a good reason they don't have a license or insurance. Don't let them near your driver's seat!
Can a uninsured car be driven by a insured driver?
Insurance is purchased for the car, not the driver. Until the car has been insured it cannot be driven by anyone. Note that most states do allow a short grace period after you purchase a car in which it can be driven without insurance to let you purchase insurance and handle title/registration paperwork. This grace period does not apply to a car that you have either allowed the insurance to lapse or have removed its insurance. If you already have another car insured (which it appears you do) and wish to drive a car that is not currently insured, contact your insurance agent and have them temporarily transfer the policy to the other car.
