It really depends on what your father's insurance policy says. Some policies will not cover you if you are not named on the policy; others will. Best to discuss the matter with your father and let him make the decision. Keep in mind that failing to report the matter to your insurance carrier could result in a denial of coverage in the event you are sued, either for property damage, personal injury or both.
