Yes, this situation could potentially cause issues if you were to get into an accident. Here are a few key points to consider:
Insurance Coverage: If you aren’t listed on the insurance policy as a driver, the insurance company might deny a claim if you are driving the car when the accident occurs. This means you’d be responsible for any damages or injuries incurred.
Policy Violations: Having an unlisted driver on the policy can be viewed as a violation of the terms of the insurance policy. This could lead to higher premiums or even cancellation of the policy.
Legal Consequences: If you’re in an accident and you’re not covered, there could be legal repercussions for driving without adequate insurance, which may include fines or other penalties.
Future Insurance Costs: If you need to obtain your own insurance later, having an accident (especially one where you were improperly insured) could affect your ability to get coverage or result in higher premiums.
It’s advisable to speak with your father about updating the insurance policy to include you as a driver. You might also consider getting your own policy to avoid complications. Always better to be safe and ensure you’re properly covered!
