Am I fronting?

I am buying a car for my dad as I get a Ford discount through work and he has a bad credit rating. My dad will be the main driver and we will both drive the car equally, is this fronting?

No, 'fronting' is where an adult puts himself down as the main drive when the main driver will in fact be a younger, higher risk driver. It doesn't matter who actually owns the car, but you do have to be truthful about that in the disclosures.
