You can legally loan your car to a friend, if you own it, but be prepared to pay for any damages done to or by your friend, because your insurance won't and they might cancel your policy. You must inform your insurance carrier if other persons will be driving your car.

Can you legally drive a friend's car if you are under your parent's insurance and said car is insured by your friends family?

You would be covered by the insurance on your friend's car if you are driving it with their permission. To be safe, get the parents' permission, not just your friend's. It may be that your friend can't give a legally binding permission.

Are you legally responsible for a car that you have cosigned?

You are legally responsible for the loan. You would want to make certain the car is sufficiently insured and has gap insurance.

You co-signed a car for your friend but the dealership listed as a joint owner how can you get your name out of this?

If you co-signed a car loan for your friend your name SHOULD appear as joint owner in case your friend defaults on the car loan. If there is a default you will need to take over the car and payments in order to protect your own credit record. You cannot take possession of the car unless you are a joint owner. You should make certain your friend has full insurance coverage on the car in case it is wrecked before the loan is paid off. You entered a situation in which you made yourself legally responsible for paying for your friend's car. You may also be held legally responsible for any damages caused by the negligent operation of that car. The only way you can "get yourself out of it" is to pay off the loan and transfer the title to your friend.
