No, when he lives in the same house and is related, it doesn't work that way.
If it did why would ANYONE pay through the nose to put their kids on their insurance policies while they're living at home? Everyone would just not bother. Go ahead kids, drive the car, it's insured under my name, I'm just "loaning" it to you, no problem?
So, Bermuda is more or less correct. Dude is driving uninsured for all intents and purposes....because the $8000 quote he admits getting to actually have his name on the pink slip and be legal was too expensive, again, as he mentioned.
Further to that, for his dad to have insured the bike under his name he has told the insurance company that he is the primary and only rider (a lie, clearly, just to save his son from paying the insurance he admits to not being able to afford), so if he actually needs the insurance someday, the insurance company is going to nullify and cancel the policy immediately...leaving him holding the bag on on a potentially millions of dollars tort claim, in the right situation.
Not to mention the driving without insurance HTA tickets if ever caught. He *might* be able to get out of that one if the officer decides to cut him a break based on the fact the bike is actually insured, but the bike being in one name and a different one on the insurance slip will raise eyebrows and could still end bad for him.
You didn't understand what I said. I meant he "has permission" BT being the secondary rider on the policy. I figured that was obvious.
Also i spoke with Allstate agent awhile back and the agent told me that if there is more then 1 licence holder in a household they both have to be on the insurance. The only way to avoid this is a written and signed letter stating the secondary rider agrees never to ride it.
I highly doubt he is planning on ridng without insurance like you are saying. That would be completely foolish.
