driving test, after passed theory, have you done it?

in any state now they always hold the owner liable for the damages ,but both of you could be sued for damages if they find out its in your name and she isn't listed on the title any where at all,its a tricky thing when you get down to facts about insurance and cars they used to just hold the driver responsible ,but not any more ,it would make both of you liable for the damages,good luck i hope this help,s.

unless her name is also on the title and she has insurance on that behicle under her name, then she would be liable. but if you don't have her listed on the title or the insurance, then you are liable. its your car.. if you insure both of you as driving it, then it would depend on who wrecked it..

What are "blind child" and "deaf child" warning signs?

Well, it all depend if she lives with you or not. Most insurance company states if you live in the same house hold and you have insurance in your car liability or full it does'nt matter as long as you hold insurance on the car at all times. If you want your mother to drive the vehicle then you must ad her to your insurance policy as driver it can be 50% or you driving and 50% of your mom driving the vehicle.In that reason because you are the Register owner of the vehicle.Or another way to do it is have your mother buy car insurance under her name and ad you as a dependent if you are under 25 years old. That will be better way to go if that is your age. Well, good luck. good idea to go with a full coverage with a 1000 deductable. It is the cheapest way but also covers you behind in case some did happen. It all depends on your car values think if your car is worth 5000.00 you may or may not want it to be full coverage but if your car is worth like 50,000 them yes, definitely you will want to get full coverage.

My car horn doesn't work please help driving me nuts?

If you are the owner of the car, you can be sued even if your mom is the driver. It's not really clear to me when you say that she cannot own it for financial reasons. Is she uninsurable? If she gets title to the car and is the policy holder of the insurance, but doesn't have enough $, maybe you can help her out by paying for the insurance. If your mom is a bad driver, maybe you should do yourself and her (and a family of 4 who are just driving to the store and have no idea about the quality of other drivers out there) a favor and not encourage her to drive.

im writing an essay for a class in college and wanted to know if there was an age limit to modify your car?

BOTH....as the registered owner of the vehicle you are ultimately responsible for anything your car does, whether you're driving it or not. Call your agent, list your mom on the policy & tell them where the vehicle is garaged and be sure you carry more than enough liability insurance in the event she's at fault for an accident.
