What I don't understand is why a driver with no license is not automatically charged as "at fault." If they don't have a license, it is illegal for them to drive. Therefore, they should not have been at the scene in the first place.

You have no license.
You are passed out drunk.
Parked in a parking spot, correctly and legally.
Some careless driver with a license smashes into you from behind and breaks 30 of your bones.

Your fault ?
Passed out drunk in a parked car can and usually will result in a dui.

I should have been more specific. If one is driving a vehicle without a valid license, they should be charged with being at "fault." That doesn't mean that another driver who broke a law (running a red light, etc) should not also be charged with "at fault."
