You're kidding, right? Your mom does you a huge favor, and you repay her by getting a car that she is legally responsible for impounded because you can't be bothered to have a valid license and insurance. And now you want to sue your MOTHER because you are too irresponsible to keep a car she gave you? Really? Sue your MOTHER? Because you can't be a responsible adult? REALLY?
What Mr. McCormick said and, if she were to entrust you with a car without your being licensed, she'd be liable for your accidents.
