    not true (in the us i dunno how other countries go), the license is printed for you after you are granted the privilege so you can show it has been granted. The license itself possesses no power it’s what the DMV database says that’s important.

    That’s why cops take your license back to their car to ‘run your license’ that means look up your status in the database to see if you’re actually licensed currently and if there are any warrants out for you!

      Do you not have learners permits?

      Where I’m from a class 7 driver’s license is a learner’s permit. You only need to do a written test to be granted a class 7, but it’s still a license that grants you the privilege of driving.

      The only way what you’re saying makes sense is if you don’t consider a learner’s permit a license.
