A Belgian? LOL she already does. Even the Polish have newer cars than mine. Q: Why do Russian car thieves in Germany always steal two cars at a time? A: Because they have to drive them back through Poland. LOL A better question is how they get away with driving them on Polish plates in NL. -- Martin the same way as they do here ------------ nobody bothers them |

The vehicle is insured for any driver using it with the owner's permission. so presumably children dont have the problem of getting cheap insurance, their cars just belong to a parent? Exactly. Then when they reach a more sensible age they get their own insurance If they or any other person, including Belgians, smash your car by driving it into the back of a parked car in broad daylight, I lose my no claims bonus. Yep. I think the incentive is that if you smash daddy's car and he loses his ncb, he'll beat the sh*t out of you. So you drive more carefully. Don't think it works though. Yes, it's very useful in germany to drive a car insured in daddy's or mummy's name. Even better, you have a whole stack of grannies and grandads who don't drive any more, but have piled up years of no claims bonuses and are prepared to register the smashed cars for you while you perfect your driving skills.G T. |
