    You should try to make the report with the police, in these incidents, since they are breaking the law when they are not driving with their mandatory documents. You'll also just report this fact directly to your insurance as opposed to theirs (or both yours and theirs).

    This can be a question of negligence in civil court, meaning that the person who entrusted the student driver could be liable. Yet, just on the road and with insurance, there are different rules and you will need to see what your jurisdiction and insurance policy says.
