Q: My son is 28, he got a dui in August 0f 2018 in Sacramento, CA. He paid all his fines and finished his dui classes.
He has a 2013 Hyundai registered in his name. I want to put it in my name and my insurance. Can he drive it?
A: Yes, as long as it meets the terms of his restrictions/limitations, he may still have an Ignition Interlock Device requirement and for sure an SR22 requirement, one (or both) may need to be in place for him to drive any car.

A:
yes, he can drive if there are no restrictions on his license by DMV or the Court/Probation.
he needs to be listed with the insurance company as an insured driver if he is going to be the main driver.
you would have to deal with DMV and notify them of the transfer
otherwise, you might get insurance and they can contest paying in case of an accident b/c of misrepresentations on the app.

A:
If he has already finished his DUI class and mandatory IID time, there is no reason he can't drive your car. He has to maintain an SR 22 with the DMV even if he doesn't have a car in his name. Why do you want to let him drive the car in your name? It opens you to possible civil liability if he is in an accident. If you are doing it to avoid the Ignition Interlock Device, if he is going to drive a car registered to you you have to put the IID in it! There are exceptions and variations but the best thing would be to ask his attorney.
Good luck!
