If one is driving a vehicle without a valid license, they should be charged with being at "fault."
I disagree. "Fault" is not the lack (or possession) of a driver's license. "Fault" is the actions (or non-actions) of a driver.
Driving without a license is an infraction, but does not assign fault. I'd like to see it made a criminal offense, the same as driving on a suspended/revoked DL. But it's not.
Still, that's different from the liability of actually causing a collision.
