In most cases the answer is No. If you are driving another person’s car, normally the insurance from the owner of the automobile is primary while your auto insurance as the driver is secondary or excess and will only be used after the automobile’s insurance limits have been reached.
If the owner of the vehicle did not have insurance on the car, therefore it is an uninsured vehicle, then it should not be driven on the public roadways in most states. In most states if the car is not insured by the registered owner then the registration will be suspended and therefore the car is not valid to be on the public roadways. In addition, your auto insurance card for your car would likely not be accepted by the police enforcement officer if you were stopped and so you could be cited for driving uninsured.
So if you were driving an uninsured car and got involved in an accident in St. Louis, Missouri, it your insurance carrier’s guidelines and state laws and the terms of your car insurance policy if your auto insurance would be extended to the accident damages.
