A: Yes, typically, you can drive a vehicle immediately after passing your driving test, even if you don't yet have your physical license. Once you pass your test, the examining officer usually provides a temporary paper license or a pass certificate. This document serves as proof of your qualification to drive until your official license arrives.

However, it's crucial to keep this temporary document with you whenever you're driving. This serves as your legal driving permit until the physical license is received. Different regions have varying rules, so it's advised to check the specific requirements in your area or with your local vehicle licensing authority.

Remember, driving without any form of license – whether temporary or permanent – can result in legal penalties. Ensure that you understand and follow all local laws and regulations regarding driving post-test to avoid any complications. If in doubt, contact your local vehicle licensing agency for guidance.
