Yep, the "get out" is the driver at the time accepting reponsibility.
If you choose to leave your car as a "free for all" while you go away you 
are responsible for it usage. If you don't want to risk it, simple, just 
hide the keys, they can ring you if they need it desperately or put a 
specific trustworty "mate" in charge. If your "mates" won't admit to
driving 
the vehicle then  they're not good mates or the vehicle was stolen.
If you come back from overseas and find your car has been upside down in a

ditch for 2 weeks, and your "mates" say they didn't drive it, do you just 
take it on the chin and accept responsibility or tell the insurance
company 
nobody was driving it?
