The policyholder may also be obliged to indemnify third parties if the vehicle did not comply with the construction and operating regulations of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations or was driven by an unauthorized driver or by a driver without the prescribed driving license. In these cases, the insurer is not obliged to pay benefits to the policyholder.
Anyone who uses or permits the use of a vehicle on public roads or places even though the liability insurance policy required under the Compulsory Insurance Act does not exist or no longer exists for the vehicle is liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding one year or to a monetary penalty.
