As a rule, insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver, therefore; if the car isn't scheduled on a policy, one should not assume there is any coverage. The only exception would be if a person carries a policy for themselves as a named insured. Say, I had an insurance policy for myself on my own car and I wanted to drive my sister's car. My sister doesn't have her car insured. The LIABILITY portion of my coverage would extend to me as a driver on her vehicle.
Liability covers bodily injury and/or property damage to a third party. So, if I wrecked with another party while driving her uninsured vehicle, my own auto insurance would coverage any physical damage or bodily injury incurred by the party I hit, but that's it. It will not pay to fix my sisters car. It will not pay for any injuries I may have sustained.
You can usually purchase "non-owned" auto physical damage, if you choose. Were this coverage in place, the physical damage to my sisters car would be covered too, had I been driving.

What happens when an uninsured driver driving an insured car got hit by an insured driver?
P.S. The insured driver is found at-fault with witnesses. The uninsured driver is worried if his license will be suspended or facing any penalty for driving the his parent's INSURED car.

If a driver is not an owner of the car and he also doesn't have insurance of his own and unfortunately hits a car, in such a case if a car is already insured by the owner, he will be covered against the third-party damages. But if a car is not insured, the owner is liable here to pay the damages that third-party oo another car had faced.

Uninsured licensed driver uses my insured car. has an accident are they covered?
It is important to understand the insurance policy that is purchased on a drivers car. The only way that an uninsured driver is covered in an insured car is id the owner of the car has that in their policy.
If an uninsured driver with permission from an insured car's owner gets into an accident will insurance cover the other vehicle's damage?
Insurance follows the car, not the driver. So as long as the automobile is insured, so is the driver. Just make sure the driver has a valid driver's license.
