If you have an insurance policy to drive any vehicle would you still be insured to drive a car that is not insured by the owner?
The answer is "it depends." I know of no insurance companies that issue policies "to drive any vehicle" ... automobile insurance, at least in the USA, is based on the car being driven. In that case, the insurance is actually on the automobile, not on the driver. Therefore, an uninsured car would not be insured regardless of the driver. There may be exceptions, depending on the underwriter and the particular policy involved.
What happens to you when an uninsured unlicensed driver driving your car has an accident?
Is your car insured? Did the driver have your permission? more that likely there will be coverage, (subject to any policy exclusion), but you will obviously have rate increases that will take many years to clear up. If your vehicle is also not insured, you will more than likely be held (assuming driver had permission), equally responsible for all costs, not to mention fines, loss of plates etc.
Will an insured driver liability cover intentional damages to uninsured car that is parked?
Yes, as long as the car is parked on private property. Cars stored on private property and not "in service" are the same as any other property, If the insured runs into your parked car our your house the insurance will pay. That's not quite correct. If the damage was intentional, meaning that the driver of the insured car deliberately struck the uninsured parked car, then the at fault driver's insurance will NOT pay because of a clause in the policy that excludes coverage for 'intentional acts' like criminal activity (which is what this is). So the parked car's owner would have to pursue a civil case against the at fault driver and try to collect against their personal assets.
What happens when adult unlicensed driver hits you and is driving an insured car?
Generally, the owner of the insured car is held liable for any damages or losses involved after an accident. So if you want to file a claim for compensation after a crash, it is better to file it with the owner of the insured car or his insurance company. The adult unlicensed driver however, can be held liable criminally if there was death or injury involved.
