Do all owners of a vehicle in IL need to be insured if they do not drive the car?

No, in Illinois, only the registered owner of a vehicle is required to have insurance. This means if you own a car but don't drive it, you still need to have insurance.

However, if you are not the registered owner but live with the registered owner and drive the vehicle, you may also need insurance.

Here's a breakdown:

* Registered owner: Must have insurance, regardless of whether they drive the vehicle.

* Non-registered owner who drives the vehicle: May need insurance, depending on your situation and the insurance company's policy.

It's crucial to check with your insurance company and review your policy to understand the specific requirements and coverage options for your situation.

Note: While you may not be required to have insurance if you don't drive the vehicle, it's still a good idea to have some form of coverage. This protects you from financial liability if the vehicle is involved in an accident, even if you weren't driving it.
