[blParent] Car ownership and insurance issues

Mon Jan 13 19:10:08 UTC 2020

In Colorado, I had trouble buying the car in my name. I ended up having to write a letter to State Farm, declaring that as a blind person, I understood that I would not be covered under any circumstances if I were ever found to be driving. It was ridiculous, but I did it. I never drove the car. :)

		Buy the car and get it so that anybody who drives it is covered.

You should be able too, but if you are buying the car, it is not hers technically, but I get what you are saying.

You might get a somewhat lower rate if she is a student and doing well. It's been a long time since I had to do this since my sons are now in their 30's, but it can definitely be done. To me the two issues are different, the car ownership and the insurance. Good luck!

Hi all,

My wife and I are both blind and we have a 17 year old daughter who is taking driving lessons.
She will soon get her license and we plan to buy her a car.
Since she is underage can she own the car?
If not can the parents own it although they are blind?
And how does the insurance issue work?
Your comments will be appreciated.
