Driving without a license is illegal in every state, but most states differentiate between operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license and driving a vehicle without proof of a driver’s license (such as when a driver fails to physically carry his or her valid driver’s license). While you won’t be arrested for simply failing to grab your wallet before getting behind the wheel, it is a much more serious offense to drive with the knowledge that your license is suspended or otherwise invalid.
Penalties for driving without a valid license or failing to produce a license when stopped by a police offer range from “fix-it tickets” to vehicle impoundment or even jail time (for driving on a revoked license, for example).
A motorist may violate a driver’s license requirement in a number of ways; Perhaps it was an honest mistake (i.e. he left his driver’s license at home) or maybe there was an attempt to circumvent a known driving restriction (i.e. willingly drove despite knowing that his license was suspended for DUI.)
