If your friend gets a speeding ticket in your car and is NOT insured but you are and they didn't give the officer your insurance info what will happen?
In the US insurance has nothing to do with speeding. If your state has mandatory insurance, the fact that your car is insured is good enough but the officer may want to see proof of insurance. Here it is the vehicle that is insured, not the driver. In UK you should not let anyone drive your car on the public road without checking they are insured. You can be fined if you let them drive without insurance.

If your partner has an accident in a car she is not insured to drive it is highly unlikely the insurance company will pay for any damages, in many countries it is also illegal to drive without insurance and punishments for such serious offence can sometimes include prison time. In the UK it would result in a £1000 fine at the very least and probably a 3 month driving ban.

If you are an insured driver and you drive someone elses car that is not insured are you legally insured while driving that car?
Let's refine the question a bit: if you are an "insured driver", by that term I mean someone who is named in an auto insurance policy as insured. Under that condition, you are insured even if the vehicle you are driving is not covered by a policy.An exception (we lawyers love exceptions) is if the vehicle is "regularly available for your use." Let's say I have two cars for my spouse and I, but also my old bachlor car that I just want to keep around as something to use if we have a breakdown in one of the other cars.I cannot fail to list that car with my insurer, and then drive it (even if only once a year--since it was "regularly available" for my use) and expect my policy to cover me. Ain't gonna happen. Same thing for any car that you can drive and in fact do use occassionally.On the other hand, if I went over to my friend's house in Eastern Washington and he asked me to go fetch (that is farming country, son) something from the store, using his uninsured car, I would be covered by my insurance policy for liability, personal injury protection, underinsured motorist coverage, etc.In the UK - it would depend on what type of motor insurance you have. If the policy is comprehensive car insurance - typically you will find that you are insured to drive another car so long as that car has a valid MOT. This is the general rule - but you should check the small print on your motor policy to see what it includes and call your motor insurer to check if you are covered. See the link entitled "accident car insurance" for a description of the different types of car insurance in the UK.

Can you purchase car insurance in the UK to drive a rental car in the US?
If you rent a car in the US it should come with all insurance required legally in the US. The car rental company may sell additional insurance. You could probably find a UK insurance company to do this but it would be more expensive and not necessary.
