Are my parents irresponsible or just lazy?
 

I got my driver's license recently, the only car my family has doesn't have insurance. I won't drive it until it does. However, my parents keep saying they'll get insurance but they don't. I keep reminding them but it feels like I'm nagging, and if I tell them too many times my mom will yell at me.

I feel a lot of pressure is on me to get them to do this, but I also feel it's hopeless. How do I get them to do simple things and keep up on them?

I can't set a deadline because my parents won't stick with it. I feel like I have to keep nagging them and put up with my mom's yelling until they do it. I don't know how to get insurance and my dad is the owner of our policy. He doesn't tell me anything. He actually doesn't know much himself. When I asked him what company we had the insurance through, he had to sort through a thousand papers to find a bill with the name on it because he couldn't remember.

What do I do to make them get insurance? But I know it's going to be another issue to have my mom let me drive the car. She uses it twice a week, but I know she's going to tell me I can't drive it. My friends expect me to start driving places and I feel like that's even more pressure. No one is really understanding my dilemma here.

Can anyone help? How do you handle irresponsible or lazy parents? Because it's beginning to interfere with my life. It's my dad's policy, I can't do it myself, but it's a battle to get him to do it.
