Everything in life
is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.
A driver’s license is a legal authorisiation, or the official document that confirms such authorization, allowing a specific individual to operate one or more types of motorized vehicles on a public road, such as motorcycles, cars, lorries, or buses. These licenses are frequently made of plastic and are the size of a credit card.
