Typically, an insurance company is going to include every licensed driver that lives in your household. You can have him removed from the policy, but your insurance company will probably require that he become an "excluded driver." This means that if your son drives your (or your husband's) vehicle, then he will be uninsured in the event he gets into an accident.
