good day to all, I am in a friendly argument with a friend regarding the requirement of a license to operate a moto in the Republic. My friend (under the age of 20) states that a person must be at least 20 years old to obtain a license - is that correct? My friend presently drives a moto and claims the insurance is valid even though a license is not present - is this correct? I'm not versed in spanish so looking into the regulations won't work for me; any first hand knowledge appreciated and/or the actual regulations.

Sir, some cops don't even have drivers licences, I think have of the people in a car don't have a licence. It's easy because all the cops want a little bribing money.

I ride my scooter almost everyday, for 2 years now, never being asked for a licence, or insurance papers. That's why when someone hit you with their scooter, you'll pay for the damage. I have to admit, after 2.5 years living here, that my choice is not to stay here, it's a nice country, nice people, but the system is to far off.
30 years i lived in Florida, i'm from Holland, but i m going to a more structured country. Ok if i make a mistake in trafic, i will have to pay, but if i have a excident, then they will not throw me in jail. And the traffic is not so crazy as here. Im going to Mexico, as well cheap, beautiful beaches, nice people.

my question exactly = is the insurance valid if the person riding the moto does NOT have a license??
People illegally here have said it has covered them despite their licenses no longer being valid in the DR. That is what I heard.
no way to win this argument until it happens. I will attempt a contact with the insurance company and see what the coverage is or isn't.
