What happens if I get into an accident in South Dakota without a license?

I sometimes borrow my friend's truck for deliveries. If I get caught, will he get in trouble? What happens if I get into an accident?

“In
South Dakota
, driving a motor vehicle while never having been issued a license is a misdemeanor. If stopped and convicted, you could face a maximum of 30 days in jail and may have to pay up to $500 in fines.
If you get into an accident, your friend’s
car insurance
rates will also be affected, and, depending on their policy and who’s at fault, you may have to pay out-of-pocket for damages.”
