My company provides my medical insurance here, and I just signed on again. I made damn sure that they would do the hoop jumping for me for the driver's license, because the medical coverage says if you're breaking the law, you're not covered. Our HR chick tried telling me it was too hard to get a license, so I had to do it myself, but I just kept repeatedly pointing out that part of my coverage, and saying it would be easier for her, who speaks fluent Vietnamese, to do it ratehr than me.
After a few weeks of refusing to sign over this stumbling point, she relented and gave in. When I get back from holidays, I'll let you know how its gone (assuming she's had time to do it, she's probably busy scrambling for more teachers).
I reckon the insurers would follow it, anything to bring their costs down.
