QuestionInsurance Question  If you have an excluded person on your policy you let them drive and the person gets a ticket for speeding, what will happen to the policyholder and the excluded driver? I have asked for the excluded driver's name to be taken off my policy, but the insurance company said they can't do it. Do you know why?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

First of all, the excluded driver should not be driving the vehicle the person is excluded from driving. The vehicle owner's insurance company will NOT cover that excluded person in an accident. As a result, the excluded driver AND the vehicle owner will be held accountable for the accident. Now, there can be various reasons why an insurance company will not remove an excluded driver. One may be that the excluded driver is a member of the policyowner's household. You will need to speak with your insurance company to find out why they will not remove the excluded driver from the policy. In the meantime, DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUDED DRIVER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE(S) ON YOUR POLICY. As for the speeding ticket, the ticket will go on the excluded driver's motor vehicle report. I do not believe anything will happen to the policyowner.

If changing the excluded driver's driving status to 'eligible' increases your insurance premiums, you can click here to get a quote for automobile insurance in California (and any other state in the United States) to compare your rates.
