She cannot access this type of information at the DMV.

DMV records with names/addresses are protected by privacy laws (e.g., the federal DPPA). The DMV typically will only release that information to law enforcement, insurers, or by court order — so file a police report or go through your insurer (or seek a subpoena) to obtain the driver's contact details.
