Driving Without A License

In most cases, you will be lucky enough not to really need it

, but what if you are not? In one case, when I was in college, one of the girls on my cross country team was in her car and was driving a few blocks away to meet up with some other teammates to go for a run at a local park. However, after driving for a minute, she realized that she forgot to bring her driver's license with her. Her license was in her wallet, which she had left in a bag in her room back at her apartment. She didn't think too much of it since she was only going to be traveling such a short distance away. After all, what were the chances that something would happen?

As it so happened, as soon as my teammate turned onto one of the main streets, she saw that the traffic was slightly backed up and there were flashing lights coming from one of several parked police cars ahead. Before she knew what was going on, she saw an officer approaching her vehicle. It turned out that the police department was conducting one of their random seatbelt/driver's license checkpoints. She thought back for a minute and realized that she had remembered hearing about how the police department was going to be doing this when she had watched the news, but it never crossed her mind until now. Slowly, she rolled down her window and tried to bite back the tears. She had heard of people getting arrested for not having their driver's license and was afraid that this would be the end of life as she knew it.

When she told the officer that she had forgotten her driver's license back at her apartment, she also quickly explained that she was only going to be driving just a few more feet down the road to her friend's apartment. The officer was nice to her and explained that legally, she could be arrested but based on the circumstances as well as the fact that they were able to check her information in their system to verify that she did have a license, etc., she was simply issued a warning. However, she had to phone one of her roommates to go into her bag in her room to retrieve her driver's license and bring it to her before she could even move her car an inch. What should have been a quick five minute trip then wound up being an hour or more all because she had neglected to bring her wallet with her.

If you are ever getting ready to go somewhere and you are in your car, you should always make sure that your seatbelt is fastened, that your headlights and/or windshield wipers are turned on (if necessary) and that you have your wallet with you. You never know when something is going to happen, and it is always better to be prepared!
