That sounds similar to some insurance companies here.  In recent years, I've
been hearing some insurance companies here are attached to the car rather than
the driver (I believe).

The driver I had mentioned earlier, I had the impression he meant he was
unlicensed..  He was fairly young too, maybe 16 or maybe even 15, which is
below the minimum age to have a license (16 here).
