in Hawaii were:

When do you notify your insurance

company?

From the Fall 2003 issue of GEICO DIRECT:

Insuring Your Teen Driver. When should you

add them to your policy?

Once teens get their learner's permit, they

must be added to your auto insurance

policy. This is to protect you from any possible

liabilities in the event your teen has an

accident while driving - even while supervised

by an adult.
