Without contravening the provisions of Article L. 211-1, the insurance contract may contain clauses excluding cover in the following cases:
1° Where, at the time of the claim, the driver is not of the required age or does not hold the valid certificates required by the regulations in force for driving the vehicle, except in the case of theft, violence or use of the vehicle without the insured’s knowledge;
2° With regard to damage suffered by the persons transported, when the transport is not carried out in sufficiently safe conditions as laid down by a joint order of the Minister of the Economy and Finance, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Defence and the Minister of Transport.
The exclusion provided for in 1° of the previous paragraph may not be invoked against a driver holding a certificate declared to the insurer at the time of taking out or renewing the contract, when this certificate is invalid for reasons relating to the place or duration of residence of its holder or when the restrictive conditions of use, other than those relating to the categories of vehicle, stated on the certificate have not been complied with.
