- My insurance company wanted this information. As for how the insurance company
- found out about them, they simply ask you for the names of the other people
- in the household who WON'T be listed as drivers. I wouldn't advise leaving
- that blank, because if you're in an accident, and they find out you lied in
- any way, shape, or form on your application, they can and will dump you.
- But just tell them that your roommates refuse to give out their DL numbers.
- What's the insurance company going to do? Refuse your money?
