Since you have been charged with a criminal offense of having an unlicensed driver drive your vehicle as in the matter you are writing about, I highly recommend that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to represent you.
The charge against you appears to be a misdemeanor where if you are convicted of it, there is a good chance that you will be fined, be sentenced to jail (possibly) and worse yet, have a criminal record for the rest of your life. I suggest you get a lawyer for this matter.
