As long as the vehicle is in YOUR name, YOU are ultimately responsible for any damage caused by the vehicle. If your friend has 20K ins. coverage and does 75 or 100K damage, you will be sued as well. good Luck

Is a son covered on his father's auto insurance policy when the son causes an accident while driving his friend's vehicle?
The insurance follows the vehicle therefore the person who owns the vehicle is responsible for having insurance on the vehicle and that insurance will cover the loss. I know it seems that the driver should have some responsibility but that is not the way policies are written. The best thing is teach you children never to let someone else drive their vehicle, period. Insurance companies do not like it when their policyholders loan vehicles and they then have unknown drivers driving insured vehicles.

If you are a repeat offender then you may have a period of time where your license is suspended.
If a car is licensed and insured in Wisconsin is the insurance valid if it is driven in Florida for six months?
Sure, the insurance follows the car. Most insurance companies are national anyway, so it shouldn't matter in which state you drive. If the vehicle is out of state for an extended period, such as while going to college, the insurance company should be informed. In most states, if you establish a residence or take a job you have to have your vehicle registered in that state within 30 or 90 days and the insurance company should be notified.
Can you drive a new vehicle if your old vehicle insurance with out switching it over?
No. You need to contact your insurance company. they are not all the same.

If it's an additional vehicle you have acquired, there would be no coverage until you have contacted your insurance company.

You must have insurance on the vehicle as soon as you purchase it.

Check with your insurance agent for exact times as they vary with each company
