Would putting my dad who is disabled as the main driver be considered as insurance fronting?

My dad has his own car and is the policy holder on that vehicle....and I am soon to be purchasing my own vehicle which i will be the registered owner so if i took out my own insurance policy on my vehicle but had my dad who is disabled as the main driver, is it classed as being illegal or fronting?

I'm confused because the comparison site i used let me choose these options but somewhere online some people were saying it's insurance fraud... the only reason i am putting him as the main driver is like i said he is disabled and if his car becomes un-usable he could use mine as i didn't really need to use it that much...I'm confused that the comparison site lets you do this but then people saying it's illegal.

I'm 25 so I'm not doing it just to get cheaper insurance because my quotes are quite cheap anyway to be honest...would be very grateful if someone who knows what they're talking about could shed some light on this situation.thanks

If it's going to be your car and your insurance, then why are you looking to put your dad as the main driver? You should be the main driver.

The main driver is supposed to be the person who will be using the car most of the time and any occasional drivers must be put down as named drivers. By putting your dad as a named driver, you will avoid the whole car insurance fronting business and your dad will also be able to use your car if his one becomes unusable. That's what you want, right?
