Q: I live in FT Worth TX, and I am in need of DMV SR22 filing, and my friend drives my car a lot. He doesn’t have the best driving record, but he has his own insurance policy. If he crashes my car, his insurance will cover it, right?

A: Nope. It sounds from your post that you’re completely aware that your friend is driving your car and aren’t making any moves to stop it, which means that you consent for him to drive your car. If you consent, then he’s covered. Even if you don’t physically open up your mouth and say, “hey, man, you can drive my car”, so long as he has reason to believed you would let him, your DMV SR22 filing company will cover him if he gets into an accident. Even if you withdraw consent, it’s very hard to prove that you did this if he is a friend of yours.

Now, if he gets into a car accident in your car, and that accident is his fault? It’ll be on you to pay the deductible, and in the end if your policy increases then you will be the one paying more for your already expensive DMV SR22 filing. So, when you’re considering letting a friend with a bad driving record take a spin in your car, think again, because if anything happens, you will be the one suffering the consequences.
