What is a driver's license?

Types of car driving licenses (also known as driving licenses) are a type of license/certificate that vehicle drivers are issued by competent state agencies. Having a car driving license means that you are allowed to operate vehicles: cars, trucks, passenger cars... to participate in traffic.

After being granted a driving license, while driving, if the traffic police ask to present a driving license (car driving license) but the driver does not have one, he/she will be subject to various forms of punishment, mostly administrative fines. If accompanied by other violations, the driving license will be temporarily revoked or the vehicle will be impounded.
