Any accident or ticket, DWI etc that happens to you while you are driving a car under his name or under his insurance policy , will effect your parents insurance rates for up to 4 yrs if anything ever happens and also legally and finacially if anything bad serious injuries or deaths occur. Result , of court judgemnt against you and your parents in serious accident, wage garnishment, leen on any home or property they own.

That is why its best to keep any car children drive, titled in the childs name and also have them buy their own insurance in their own name.

You always here it from the stupid parents that feel their little angel will never get into trouble, but we all know what devils we can turn into once our parents are out of sight. So they never believe their little angel would do anything intentionally wrong behind the wheel of the car and the parents cry the blues later once they face legal issues and finacial costs, due to their little angel.

So it comes down to being an adult and accepting the costs of it, your 20 now and its time to accept full responsibilty, for anything you do , so put everything in your own name or the other option would be to find a dumb older girl friend and put the car in her name, a lot of guys do it once they get a DWI etc. Only problem is that if you break up she can keep the car as it will be titled in her name.
