Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota

I was the owner of a vehicle that was involved in an accident which caused property damage. I was not driving and the person driving did not have permission to drive. I did not have insurance at the time of the accident. The driver was charged with a DWI and was ordered to pay restitution which he did not. I am being sued by the homeowner's insurance company for the property damage. I have opted to settle with the insurance company because they told me if a judgement is issued against me, they can have my driver's license suspended. I do not have a Minnesota driver's license; it is from Arizona. Is there a law in Minnesota which allows insurance companies to do this?
