Pierrot Dupuy writes (Fr): “Close to 20% of Reunion drivers probably do not have a driver's license, according to [France's] national council of professional drivers' driving school division. If this number is correct, it is alarming to say the least. Especially in case of an accident, when even if the non-licensed driver is insured, he/she will see his insurance company refuse to take on any indemnification.”
