As I recall the last time I applied for car insurance the form did ask for
the names of all liscensed drivers in the household. This as I was told
was specifically to determine the rates based on the driving records of those
who might be driving the vehicle. Simply omitting any of this information 
would (should the insurance co. discover the omission) result in revoling
and or canceling the policy. At the same time many insurance agents/brokers
I am aquainted with have told me that rarely is any action taken if a wife
has a bad record on the road if the husband states that the vehicle is for
his use only. The tacit assumption is that a husband can enforce a ban 
on his wifes use of a vehicle while a wife either can not or will not do the
same ( this does not make the assumption true only that it is an

condition of family living.
