    Definitely NO cash.

    Involve the police and I would also notify the driver that he must also contact your insurance to claim and that the insurance will be notifying the police when he claims unless he can provide valid insurance details.

    If this driver has no insurance then I hope his car gets crushed.

    The driver does not have to provide insurance details to anyone but the police. His insurer (if he has one) is not involved since he will be claiming from the OP's relative.

    As for crushing, it isn't his car. The owner seems to be guilty of an insurance offence, whether the driver was insured or not.
  • i would have settled with third party being a new driver. if there was just light damage for couple hundred quid can sort.

    by getting insurance involved SIL will have their premiums shoot up or stay the same high "new driver" rate for a lot longer to come
