A:
Yes, it is the law that a person must have a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance to operate a personal vehicle on public roads. These requirements ensure that drivers are qualified to operate a vehicle, that vehicles meet safety standards, and that there is financial responsibility in case of accidents.
A driver's license demonstrates that the person has passed the necessary tests to operate a vehicle safely. Vehicle registration links the car to its owner and ensures that it meets legal and safety standards. Insurance is required to cover potential damages or injuries that might occur during an accident, protecting both the driver and other parties involved.
Driving without a license, registration, or insurance can result in legal penalties, including fines, impoundment of the vehicle, and even arrest. It's essential to comply with these legal requirements to avoid such consequences and ensure safety on the roads. If you need assistance obtaining these documents, local DMV offices or insurance agencies can provide guidance.
