Letting Others Drive Your Car
When I had to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed a few months ago, I was required to have a responsible person come with me to my appointment and drive me home afterwards. Naturally, I chose my boyfriend to fulfill this duty since we live together. However, I was a little bit leery about allowing someone else to drive my vehicle. You see, even though I knew that my boyfriend would be extra careful when he drove my car with me in it back to our apartment, I couldn’t help be wonder what would happen if he were to borrow my car one day in the future and become involved in a car accident.
For instance, if you live with another person, are married or have children who are old enough to drive, it may be a smart option to list them as secondary drivers on your personal vehicle. In this case, I could have listed my boyfriend on my auto insurance as a secondary driver, but in the end, I elected not to because he doesn’t use my car to drive it anywhere. However, if he were to borrow my car on a specific occasion and become involved in an auto accident, then there is no doubt that my auto insurance would probably go through the roof for liability reasons. One of the first questions that the auto insurance company would want to know would be why I elected to have someone else drive my car who was not listed on my insurance policy.
Whenever you file a police report, what many people don’t realize until after it is too late is that the police accident report will contain detailed information as to who exactly was sitting in the driver’s seat at the time of the accident. Because law enforcement officials are held to a higher code of ethics than normal citizens, auto insurance companies do not usually question an officer’s judgment on this particular detail. That being said, I can recall responding to the scene of an auto accident when I was a police officer. A person had driven their car through the front window of a convenience stores. When I arrived on the scene, there were several people who approached me to try to tell me what they saw. After I organized everyone and had them seated, I went over to the driver of the vehicle, separated him from the other passengers of the vehicle so that they were out of earshot and asked him what happened. After speaking to everyone in the car as well as the witnesses at the scene, it tuns out that the driver of the car had had their license revoked but was driving anyway. When she pulled into the gas station, she parked the car (or so she thought) in the parking space. Then while she waited in the car for her passengers to return from the convenience store, she accidentally pressed down on the gas. Knowing that her license was revoked, she quickly switched seats with one of her passengers, where they remained until I arrived. Clever, but not clever enough!
