Do both the buyer and co buyer have to be on same insurance policy even if one never drives the car?

As the cosigner has a financial interest in the property, meaning if something happens to the vehicle he can be made to pay "All" the bills, Then he should certainly be insured on the policy for any loss regardless of whether he is driving it.
A cosigner is jointly and severally liable to the lien-holder for the full amount of the note and is probably required to be insured under the finance contract anyway. The cosigner if unlicensed and does not drive should at the very least be listed as a holder of interest in the lien-holder section so that they will receive notification from the insurer should the primary have any lapse in coverage.
The primary driver should also pay any additional premium required to insure the cosigners interest. After all, he was kind enough to co-sign so you could buy the car, the least you can do is make sure he doesn't wind up in the poor house should something happen to it.
Should the primary Driver / borrower refuse to insure the cosigners interest, it would probably be prudent for the co-signer to take legal recourse against the primary borrower before a loss occurs.

Does having title insurance lower your score?
Does having title insurance lower your [Credit Score a.k.a. FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation)] score? The answer is... No, it does not. Title insurance is part of most residential real estate transactions. All a title insurance does is say that someone did a search against the legal records of the local municipality and verified that there is no other person who can claim to own this property in the future because of some undisclosed or forgotten legal record; and if for some reason that does happen... the title insurance company will pay a claim against the loss of that property. When title insurance is issued it is paid for only one time; and typically there are two types of policies that are issued simultaneously by the same title company. 1) A Buyer's policy. (This policy pays out to the buyer.) 2) A Lender's policy. (This policy pays out to the buyer's mortgage lender.) So, no, title insurance should never impact your credit score. Note: Mortgage insurance, which is another thing entirely, may impact a credit score. To be exact the circumstances that cause a lender to require mortgage insurance may impact a credit score; but that's another question.
