It is generally not recommended to put your dad's car insurance in your name. There are several reasons why this approach is not ideal. Firstly, if your child gets into a severe car accident and someone gets injured, your bank account or home may be at risk of being pulled into your child's lawsuit. Additionally, if your child has a history of reckless behavior or poor driving, putting the car insurance in their name could lead to higher premiums or even make it difficult to find coverage. Furthermore, if you are not the primary driver of the car, it may not be covered in the event of an accident. It is important to carefully consider the potential risks and consequences before making a decision about who should be listed as the primary insured on a car insurance policy.
