Yes, that is true. He can insure you by adding you to his insurance policy.

UMMMM, yes, you are 16 and have no experience. You may not legally have to have insurance in your state but if you have an accident you will be screwed, think about it, what if you totaled out a brand new $16,000 car and put them in the hospital, how would you pay for it? You would be paying out of your pocket for many many years to come.


sensible_man
You would need to be added on his policy. Not many States where insurance is not mandatory.

It depends on the law in your state. But most states require drivers to be insured to protect other drivers. Otherwise, if you got into an accident, and you didn't have money, who would pay for the repairs to other person's car?

He has to add you as a driver to his policy. Otherwise you have to have his permission to drive it, and if you get stopped for any reason, you have to prove that you have his permission. The numbers and/or letters in the policy number tell an officer whether there are other drivers included in the insurance.
