Well, they may be allowed to be added as named drivers on your policy as long as they meet the policy conditions. For instance, the car insurance company may say that they must be over the age of 25.
That is fine as long as you will always know who you want to drive your car but what if there are occasions when there is the need for someone that is not on the policy as a named driver to drive your car?
If they have their own fully comprehensive car insurance then they would be covered to drive your car but only for third party cover meaning that should they have an accident whilst driving your car your car would not be covered by their policy if it were damaged or written off. Only damage to the other vehicle involved in the accident or other property or injury to third parties would be covered.
