Dear brother,
Many people are carefree or say careless about renewing licenses or
paying the utility bills and here in Pakistan the surveyors as well as
the Insurers take lenient view of such voilations as far as the
insurance claims are concerned. For example the driver is asked to
submit copy of token tax of driving license after renewal and the
claim is entertained without going in to any detail however if the
driving license is suspended or cancelled due to voilation of traffic
laws then the insured is called for question for not holding a valid
driving license at the time of accident which is condition precedent
to liability. In your case the license was expired in 2009 and the
claim is occurred in 2010 so the matter is not so ordinary and the
Insurers may take it in the same category as if the insured was not
having valid driving license at the time of accident. You better take
the advice from Insurers concerned.
Thanks

On 11-12-2006 his DL was endorsed with LMV (Cab) with a badge to drive transport vehicle and the issuing authority while issue the badge has round off the validity date and mention the expiry date as 10-12-2009 i.e. 3 yrs from the date of issue. Now the said DL holder involved in an accident while driving a LMV (NT)but the DL expires on 10-12-2009. Is the claim payable or not.
