    16 year olds shouldn’t be driving anyways, so I’m not surprised your premiums went up. Also…24 and you’re still paying for his insurance???

      In my state, it doesn’t matter if he’s 25 or 55. If he drives my car regularly he has to be on my policy for my car. That’s the law. He has his own policy, for his own car. I don’t ever drive his car, so I’m not on his policy. But since his car is a Mini, he borrows mine a lot too. And I don’t like committing insurance fraud, so I follow the law.

      Dunno where you are, but in the US, 16 year olds drive.

      And every kid and every family is different. You parent your child, and I’ll parent mine. You’re not entitled to even form a fucking opinion on my parenting.

      In most states the guardians can pay insurance for their dependent up until 25, at least for healthcare and the parents are probably extending that to their son’s car insurance, generously. My mom kicked me off her plan when I was 23, but I’ve always had to pay for my car’s insurance

        18 here but at that age kids gotta grow up. Helping them financially when they get into a pickle is one thing but not teaching them what stuff costs sets them up for a world of hurt.
