I believe that I understand what you are asking. If I am not correct ask it again and I will try to do better. Auto insurance generally follows the vehicle and not the driver. Only the person who owns the vehicle can insure are vehicle except in a situation of an immediate family. One policy can cover members of the family even if the vehicle is in the name of other members of the family as long as they all live in the same household.

Whose auto insurance is primary in California registered owner or permissive driver?
The insurance on a vehicle should be in the name of the Registered owner of the vehicle. Any permissive driver should also be added to the policy as a driver if you are a regular driver or if you live in the household.

Yes. In the United States it is called "uninsured motorist coverage." Oops, I misread the question. UMC described above is if someone without license or insurance hits your car. You can be insured on a car owned by a banned driver as long as you are registered to drive it. The cheapest way to go in that situation is to register yourself as the primary driver and the banned driver is completely taken off the registration. This way, the banned driver still holds the title but is not registered to drive it, and the insurance will be less.
