Insurance follows the car, not the driver. As long as the car is insured and you have permission from the owner to drive it, you are covered.

Can you be auto insured under your uncles policy?

It depends on which company your uncle is insured with, but typically with a standard insurance company you have to live in the household to be a listed driver on the policy. This is regardless of your relationship to the primary insured. If you are not listed on the policy as I driver you are still insured to drive his vehicles as long as you have permissive use.

If you have an insurance policy to drive any vehicle would you still be insured to drive a car that is not insured by the owner?

The answer is "it depends." I know of no insurance companies that issue policies "to drive any vehicle" ... automobile insurance, at least in the USA, is based on the car being driven. In that case, the insurance is actually on the automobile, not on the driver. Therefore, an uninsured car would not be insured regardless of the driver. There may be exceptions, depending on the underwriter and the particular policy involved.

Can a uninsured licensed driver drive a insured drivers car?

The rules and laws of insurance vary from state to state but generally speaking it is the automobile that is insured not the driver. So if your friend allows you to drive her insured car and you are involved in an accident you are covered under her policy(((IF her insurance policy does not stipulate restrictions banning unlicensed drivers from operating the vehicle))) in which case her insurance may not cover damages done to her vehicle or injuries to the unlicensed driver.


Can you drive a parents car with them in it if your not insured before you pass your test if you display l plates and they are supervising you?

Yes, but you will be driving illegally. Regarding insurance on written on a personal auto policy, if an insured driver gives you permission to drive their insured vehicle, their insurance covers your liability in an accident. The coverage extends to anyone, whether they are a legal driver, 4 years old, don't have a license, or are blind. However, you need a license to drive in order to be legal.Added: What the question is missing is a statement that you ALREADY HAVE a drivers license or learners permit. If you do NOT have one, you cannot drive under ANY circumstances. As for insurance - it is not the licensed driver that requires insurance, it is the VEHICLE which must be insured.


Can you drive a car if you don't have insurance but the car does you have a License?

All drivers are required by law to carry proof of Financial Responsibility. So if you are an insured driver under the terms of the Auto Insurance Contract then you are covered to drive it. If you are not an insured under the terms of that policy then you are not covered. Remember, Vehicles do not drive themselves and vehicles do not carry insurance, People do. Auto Insurance Is to cover the losses and legal liabilities of the Insured.


If your insured with one company and you drive another vehicle that's insured by another company and you get into an accident wich insurance company pays for it?
