Once the child turns 18 the parents are no longer responsible for his actions. If he was to get into a car accident no one would be able to come after you for damages. You can drop him from your insurance and registration and not worry about being held liable for any damage that he causes. However, if you are still listed on the registration you could be held liable for any damage that he causes so it is definately in your best interest to remove your name from anything concerning his vehicle.
I hope this helps.
