The Risks Of Not Having Valid Licence And Continuing To Drive
Driving without a valid driving licence is one of the worst offences you can commit on the road. From a reasonably young age it is built into our minds that before we drive, we must hold a driving licence, yet there are thousands of people every year who are caught driving without a licence.
There are different levels of severity for driving without a licence, the least of which is when a driver is entitled to a licence, i.e. they have one, but have left it at home or do not have it on them for one reason or another. The best thing to do in this situation is to be honest about it and let them take your car away, you can then go home, get your licence, apologise and pay the fine, and take your car home.
The more severe end of the scale is when people are not even entitled to a licence and drive around on the roads. There are a few people who have got away with this scot-free and posted their stories on various online forums like YouTube, however, realistically speaking, there is no way youre going to get out of it if youre caught driving without even being entitled to a licence.
The really big problems start arising when you dont have a licence at all and you are involved in a road accident. If you find yourself in this situation, well all I can say is God help you! The penalties for this (depending on the laws in the state or county) that you happen to be in range from a lifetime ban on driving, having your car impounded or a spell in prison.
There could be a temporary suspension of the license, and if caught while driving during that period, there are tougher penalties than with just driving without a license. The worst of the lot is when there is a permanent ban of the drivers license and still the person is caught while driving. That is a real short cut to get into federal prison!
Driving without license is a simple attitude problem. An understanding that the rules are there for our convenience will put an end to that attitude. - 21396
