If your parents purchase a car for you, even though you are not yet 18 years old, they must insure the car in their names. It doesn't matter that the car is registered in their names as the owners and you are registered on your permit as the driver. The liability insurance on your parents' car insurance policy will cover any accidents that you cause.
