    You’d be amazed how many people driving daily don’t and have never had a license. Used to be a police dispatcher, shit happens all the damn time.

        Almost always a ticket, assuming that’s the only law you’re breaking. And they will certainly look for more!

        Funny story, I was arrested in Chicagoland one time for not having a license. (Lost my wallet, still had to work.) Officer had a high school kid (cop wannabe) for a ride-along and wanted to demonstrate arrest and booking procedures.

        In and out in 45 minutes but got stuck 30 miles from home.
