Hurlston‑Cruz admitted to charges of careless driving and DUI, but he was not charged with driving without insurance.
Although he didn’t hold a policy, his friend and the owner of the vehicle, Troy Claxton, had maintained his insurance policy at the time because the sale was not complete.
Hurlston‑Cruz had paid for the vehicle but had not completed the sale with the Department of Vehicle and Drivers’ Licensing.
Therefore, the sale was complete; Claxton no longer owned the vehicle and no longer had an insurance interest.
An insurance policy is a contract of personal indemnity, and the insurer cannot be compelled to accept responsibility in respect of a third party who may be quite unknown to them.
