You cannot, unless your mom signs the title over to you. Then you take it to the local DMV office, show proof of insurance, registration, and then apply for Transfer of Title. Your mom controls the usage of the car now, because of it being in her name, any accident/ incident with the car would come back on her as the title holder. A law suit against her as owner would also come back on you as the driver. You are now 18, get a job, save your money and buy your own car. When you realize the expense involved in owning a vehicle, maybe you'll understand why your mom wants to control the vehicle usage.How do i get a car title changed?
