You usually have to be over 25 to be covered on somebody else’s car, also the car that your driving has to have its own insurance policy

If you get pulled over or crash you will get fucked for it.....unless it states on you policy you are allowed any car 3rd party

can always ring your insurance cover up and ask for day cover, most of the time its suprisingly cheap

Doesnt matter, your not insured.....up to you tho 99.9% nothing will happen on the drive home - ive drove a few cars home/mates cars without insurance before........when I was young and silly

depends on how much of a cock the officer was.
More than likely a fine and could even get a ban if it got oot of hand

is it really worth it for 5 mins driving??
if its his company car... is it HIS company??
if not, regardless of your insurance cover, you wont be covered UNLESS he checks with whoever his car is insured by & see's if your ok to drive it...

i have risked it a few times with mates car but dont do it now. If its not too far just follow him in your car and then give him a lift back to get his other car once he has dropped one of them off
