The basic principle is the obligation to adhere to regulations, including not driving a car without a license. However, for someone who needs to drive in a remote, uncrowded place, is skilled at driving, and cannot obtain a license, there may be no blame upon them. Nevertheless, it is safer not to drive without a license to avoid legal accountability.
