I told one of these spam callers that my license has been legally revoked. It has been almost 15 years since I last got one of those calls. They used to be something that happened, at least, a few times per day.

In Denmark it is required by law that you have a bare-minimum insurance (to cover if you damage someone or something else). Is this not required in your country?

The point is probably that they don't have a car to begin with

Don't be too hard on them, in Europe we get very little spam calls. Most people even answer unknown callers.

I fail to see how this is relevant to my comment :D

I realized I had asked a stupid question after posting.
