Car Sharing Proposal in Oregon

[Crabcake Johnny]

Very interesting:

"The new law will allow what’s called peer-to-peer car sharing. Under current Oregon law, people can get into trouble if they loan their car to someone and they are in a crash. The car owner’s insurance is on the hook and it can raise the owner’s insurance rates or get their policy canceled.

The new rules will allow car-sharing services and offer a system that includes separate insurance. It would provide short-term insurance for the borrower as long as the owner registers through a third-party program."

How do car owners currently get in trouble with the law for allowing someone to borrow their vehicle? Your insurance is going to go up in any state when someone else driving it has an accident. Silly to me, but I'm sure some insurance companies are going to make a killing.
