Drug induced coma

[Sherrazz]

Coma since the 20th
Mother owns the vehicle
Son is not an authorized driver
Car is legal

If the mother was awake she would not authorize. But when she wakes up and finds out, she will be angry, but will say she's happy I'm there for her.

Then this is a MONUMENTALLY bad idea. What happens if he gets in an accident? And here's the thing: she's in a coma. Your presence there, while a lovely thought, is not medically necessary. Wait until she gets out of the coma and can grant permission.

She has 2 daughters that are with the ex right now, that need me. They are not his children. I have known them their whole life. Sorry for the drama.

You mean that he should explain to them that he's going to use his legally incapacitated mom's car without clear consent from her...consent that she is presently unable to give?

No, only if he is already a habitual driver of the car and has had mom's consent to drive it for a long time.

Then take a train/bus/plane/uber to assist.

Will I go to jail if the vehicle is stopped for auto theft?

No, because both you and the son are too smart to take a car that does not belong to either of you, so neither you nor the son are going to be stopped, arrested and jailed for auto theft.

You need to find an alternate means of transportation.

There is your answer.

Son has neither.

Wow. You don't care if your friend son ends up sitting in jail ...do you? Some friend.

Think this through, OP. Son borrows the car, which is then reported stolen. Car is stopped by police, and it is discovered that son is not authorized to have or drive it. Car is then impounded. You and son are left on the side of the road (or, if officers are kind, dropped off at the closest town). Then what?

Well ... they probably would not be left on the side of the road. They would be given a complimentary ride to jail by the police where they would await charges on car theft.

I was looking at best possible scenario. Excluding not getting pulled over.

So, not only is the son not authorized on the insurance, but, as her best friend, you know that she would be angry if she came out of the coma and found out that her son had driven the car.

The son should rent a car, or you need to find another way to travel there.

You are not in danger of going to jail, but you are in danger of being stranded in the middle of nowhere if the son is pulled over and the car impounded. And if your best friend comes out of a coma to find that her car has been impounded and her son arrested for stealing it, she's going to be happy with nobody, and looking for a new best friend.
