Default Car Insurance Question

I recently seen a news report about car insurance in the UK where parents were insuring cars for their kids and naming the kids as a named driver on the policy. The report was saying although this is done with good intentions it is fraud as the parents are not the main driver etc.
In Spain most cars are normally insured for anyone to drive (normally over 25 and have held valid licence for at least 2 years and with the owners permission which is what my policy says).
So does Spain have the same in regard to the main driver?

Fronting is illegal in the UK.
Insurance policy terms are different in Spain.

Unless something has changed relatively recently ...... I was insured originally with Mapfre, and they extended cover to my family, i.e. spouse and children. There was no stipulation about main drivers.
