Question
My son was given permission to drive his father-in-law's car, and slid on
some ice into another car, with only minimal damage. Will  the father-in-laws
insurance cover for it?

Answer
Hi Debby,
Yes, since he had permission to use the car, the insurance policy on the car is always 'primary'.
I hope this has been of help, pleas write again if you have more questions.
Your feedback by rating my answer will be appreciated.
