But....the other insurance will most likely be liable since they rear ended you. G/F should notify her ins. co. anyway Yes, with rare exceptions, you should be covered if you had her permission and a valid drivers license.

If you have regular access to her car - which you do - and you're not listed, they will likely deny the claim. They'll also require her to add you on to the policy. HOWEVER, this claim isn't really Progressive's claim - unless you're in a no fault state and have injuries. This is REALLY the claim on the guy who rearended you - and HIS insurance won't care if you're listed as a driver or not. Progressive is a real stickler.

The exception would be if the policy has restricted to something like "Only drivers over the age of 25 are covered" and you aren't. But in your case, since you hit from the rear, this is not your fault, and Progressive won't be paying out. Damage will be repaired by the insurance of the person who hit you.

But if you were rear ended I would turn it into the others drivers insurance. But you would be covered on your girl friends insurance as well since you were "on a mission" for the insured.

Yes, intelligence can make a difference. You'll notice the answers above tend to relate to intelligent people who are not well co-ordinated so, certainly, that part of the learning process has nothing to do with intelligence. But general road craft has a great deal to do with intelligence. Less intelligent people have more difficulty understanding 'why' they should behave in a certain way on the roads. That doesn't mean intelligent people will do it, it just means they understand it and so are more likely to apply it during their test.

I find that if you are a straight "A" pupil at school/Uni you will find the driving totally alien. I had a young lad who was an excelled pupil at Secondary, he was going to uni to become a scientist. I had a terrible time with him. No matter what I said he would do it "his way". Even though he had lived in our town for all of his 17 years he couldn't tell you how to get to the next town near us, he refused to look at road signs, telling him to take the exit signed "so and so town" and when he went onto the roundabout he always had to ask which way. I even had him turning into a 1 way street with the NO ENTRY sign right in front of him... he even went right at a keep left sign. On failing his 1st test I gave him some tips, and sure enough the one tip I gave him he failed on.... 2nd test he couldn't read the number plate, strange as he passed it with me and 1st test, turns out he couldn't read the yellow plates... examiner measured the distance and he eventually passed that, but failed on his test with speed limit signs, his reply to the examiner when asked what was the speed limit on John Street, " I know it is 30, but I was KEEPING up with the other drivers". Passed 3rd attempt, I now teach his brother and he tells me that his brother has never driven since he passed 2 years ago.... So, yes most D.I can tell who is intelligent and who is destined to be a driver..... I can usually tell after a few hours, if someone is destined to be a pedestrian or a driver.
