He wasn\'t required to be a first driver?

nope hes there as the second driver, and it brought the price down, doesn\'t make sense as his own insurance policy states he can drive any car that he doesn\'t own, but o well auto trader insurance said it was fine

Yes he can drive any car he doesn\'t own under his policy, but that\'s very limited by conditions, usually he will only have 3rd party cover when your dad\'s driving like that.
As a named 2nd driver on your policy he will share most of the benefits of your policy, (see the small print if any), but it\'s interesting to note that your premium has dropped. The company must calculate that, assuming he does go out in it, he\'s a better risk than you and when he\'s driving, you \'aint!
Sorry about that, age has it\'s uses!
