Ok here are the disadvantages (from both stand points): If you have any tickets or accidents they will be charged on the policy and cause the persons rate to go up and possibly get terminated by the company. Also depending on your age and sex, the rates could go up too. You being a driver on someones policy put them at risk for lawsuit if you cause an accident. Now for the advantage: You being on someones policy can help your rates when you decide to get your own insurance, companies look at prior insurance and people that have continuous insurance get better rates.
