More details to this question:
I'm asking for a friend, he Co signed a loan for his mom to get a new vehicle, and I know with him Co signing he is responsible as well. His mom did not have the vehicle the insurance before it left the lot, and they let get her drive off the lot with it. She had an accident and totaled the car, he is saying he didn't know there was no insurance. Can the lot get in trouble for letting her drive off the lot without insurance?

The lot does not owe her an obligation to make sure that she is insured. That is the responsibility of the car owner to make sure that she is up to date in her insurance coverage before she drives it off of the lot.
