If he didn't have one at all, that's correct, another big fine here.  And once
you've obtained your license, you have to carry it with you when you're
riving.

Well, I suspect insurance wouldn't cover him, Insurance companies are pretty
picky about who's driving.  Here, we also have "no fault compulsory third
party", which is paid as part of your car registration, but covers ALL road
users for road related injury, regardless of who's at fault.  The CTP does not
cover property damage, you have to insure for that yourself privately.

Same here too.

The confusing term was "didn't have his license", which is actually ambiguous,
"unlicensed" would have been 100% clear, because not being in possession of
one's license while on the road is also an offence here (i.e. leaving it at
home).
