When the perpetrator of an accident is unable to prove that he has complied with the obligation to insure instituted by article L. 211-1, the victim and the guarantee fund are entitled to avail themselves of the precautionary measures provided for in articles 48 to 57 of the Code of Civil Procedure (1).
However, these provisions do not apply when the civil liability insurance concerns vehicles normally based in the territory of a State referred to in article L. 211-4 with the exception of France and Monaco.
