A car can be driven by anyone who has:
a) the appropriate insurance cover (either covered by their own policy, or by that of the car's owner).
and
b) the permission of the owner to drive the car.
If the car still has finance owing on it, you should check the finance agreement - it will probably only allow those with fully-comprehensive insurance cover to drive the car.

No, for example, I can drive my friends car with their permission on my own insurance as 3rd party only. It depends on the drivers insurance company. You need to be fully comprehensive on your own vehicle first though
If it's something more permanant, I put my dad on my insurance, so he could drive my car for a few months fully comp, while his car was being repaired and it only cost me £20 extra to do that

yes, you can have named drivers on your policy. you can also chose to insure your car for any driver. these options will be a bit more expensive than just yourself to drive. in most cases if you get fully comprehensive insurance you will also be able to drive anyone else's vehicle as long as you have their permission, a valid licence for the class of vehicle and the vehicle is insured by the owner.
i have my car insured for me only but we have a second car that is insured for any driver over the age of 25.
hope this helps

b) You can get an insurance policy for any other driver over the age of 25
c) they can drive it on there own policy if they have fully comp insurance and yours will only be covered 3rd party
