Question

I am a foreign exchange student and a minor. If I purchased a car (titled to my name) and had my own insurance, would my host family be liable at all if I got into a car accident? In other words, would they be responsible for what my parents would be? Would the laws apply as if they were my parents or legal guardians?

Answer

no

Answer

A minor cannot buy a car and have it titled in the minor's name and cannot purchase auto insurance in the minor's name.
