Law / Car Insurance in Poland (A/C) [32]

You have mis-translated my question.

No I have not. It wasn't an answer to you. Just point out that majority of us choose no one else but me would drive the vehicle to reduce costs. I don't know the answer what happens when police catch you with insurance policy which has point "no one else but me would drive the vehicle" checked

or in case of accident if insurance company refuse to pay a settlement.

so check the policy first. If not checked = you are entitled to drive (imho).

or that not all insurance policies allow any driver under 26?

Cost of living rise. We are not going to sponsor our adult kids. Let's they start your own life.
Cars are cheap like never before.

Law / Car Insurance in Poland (A/C) [32]

my insurers have always asked me if anyone else but me would drive the vehicle.

and this is crucial to the system, difference between 305zł and 1250zł. I'm not going to lose my discount :)

UK, Ireland / The REAL reason why so many Polish come to the UK! [19]

It's so obvious to me now.... It's the English girls!

Yup. I don't forget them to the end of my life. One was a tall gothica beauty in a black veil met in the First bus.

Another, gorgeous uniformed blonde in the Victoria Train Station (some kind of railwayman I suppose) who showed me right way to the train.

Love / What differences is there among Polish girls and British girls as girlfriends? [102]

Why do some people think Polish are better?

Probably because they are from backward country and don't know all the tricks yet.
They are still family oriented. They can't drink a bottle of vodka at one gulp. (some can but still minority)
and finally they are still available. If some Western girl is hot above the average
she is immediately taken by showbusines.

Life / What are the most conservative cities in Poland? [10]

Generally cities in eastern Poland (like Białystok and Lublin) are more conservative.

Some cities however are very liberal due to historical accumulation of commies who hide themselves in the nearby forests ;)
