Driving without license on your person

Question

[b] [/b] What is the law with regard to having one's drivers' license on his/her person while driving? If I do not have my license with me, what is the procedure? [b]

Answer

[/b] You are required by law to carry the licence. If you do not have it on you, you will be fined for driving without an appropriate licence / alternatively fined for not carrying (having) your licence with you. The first is a serious offence (hefty fine and imprisonment possible) while the second is a minor offence with only a fine applicable. You will be ordered to present yourself at the nearest police / traffic station to present the licence and pay the second offence.
