I hope he's going to be doing more miles than you in that car...

If not, your insurance will be void, as it's fronting. And they will check if you have a smash...:smt018

How are you going to explain the fact that your dad has a second car, yet uses his own to go to work, and also, in "his" second car, manages to rack up almost exactly the mileage you would do going to work and back yourself, while you have no apparent means of transporting yourself to work?

It'll look so fishy they'd refuse to pay out your claim, and as there would be no evidence you wouldn't be able to prove them wrong. If you're unlucky you and your dad may find yourselves answering questions about insurance fraud. If you find yourself getting caught out obtaining cover fraudulently it opens up a whole new world of difficulties getting cover in the future, lots of companies will likely refuse you cover before you even ask them for a quote, and any that do, knowing you have only a small selection that'll quote you, will charge a fortune.

Just a thought...

my dad is retired so doesnt use the car much anyway and on the other car it has my mum and brother as named drivers. If i had a crash there is no way they would be able to find out if i was doing more miles or my dad because there is other people that drive the other car and plus its not insured with the same company.
