No it's called fronting and is quite rightly illegal.

Yes chuck that is ex info but I have a feeling this family are trying to do things on the cheap which does not always work as they will find out when they make a claim.

A car has to have at least third party cover in its own right if it is going on the public highway.
The police databases would always show the car as uninsured, and if it were stolen then there would be no cover at all.

they can be put on his insurance as named drivers, but only on his car...unless he is claiming he owns all 3 cars...in which case he has to pay for 3 separate sets of insurance...

It is not illegal,I have my son and daughter as named drivers on my insurance,they can then drive it under fully comprehensive insurance,Fronting is a different thing altogether.
