I was driving our car yesterday when I noticed that I left my wallet at home. My driver's license was inside my wallet. OMG! I was driving without a license. This happens couple of times already. Good thing, I was not caught and apprehended by the authorities. Did you ever drive without a license? How many times?

It happened a few times. It is not that important here. They block us ten minutes to check if we have a valid driver license or not, and we receive a ticket giving 5 days to go with our license to a police station. If it is done, there is no fee.

Different law, but good one. This way authority keeps checking too.

@yugocean They have a computer connected to a database of drivers licenses in any car nowadays, and they can control very quickly.

I use public transport for my everyday journey. And in holidays, other relatives drive.

Good thing, the police didn't chance upon you driving without a license. Well, maybe if that happens, you can always say you thought you had it in your bag.

I do it more often than i like to admit... Often when I realise I left home without it, its too late.... Suddenly I become the best driver out there so I can avoid being pulled over by the cops!! And when you come across a road block, you start feeling like the cops know you dont have your license and you start feeling like you look guilty as all hell! haha

so you noticed the missing wallet on your way home, after you're finished with your errand or appointment?

You got lucky but don't push it though, your luck might run out.

No, I donĀ“t drive. I am glad you were not stopped by a police who needs money for a bribe.
