You should always view and document the driver's
license and insurance for someone test driving your
car.  Most people are not aware that an insurance
policy (at least in the US) is responsible for the
liability of a covered driver, regardless whose car
the driver is operating.  In other words, if your
incident occurred in the majority of American
jurisdictions, the brat kid's insurance might have
covered the incident.  I'm speaking in very general
terms here, folks, and there are other factors such as
whether the kid was negligent in not securing the hood
(bonnet), or perhaps whether the insurance policy only
covers collisions, etc.

But if the idiot kid struck another car or some
pedestrian, you'd definitely like to have his
insurance responsible, either fully or partially.
Bottom line, get there drivers license and insurance
information before they drive.
