What is the offense associated with failing to carry a valid driver’s license?

Failing to carry a valid driver’s license typically falls under the offense known as "No Operator’s License" (often abbreviated as NOL). This offense occurs when a driver is operating a vehicle without having a valid license in their possession, even if they possess a valid driver’s license that is simply not on them at the time.

The term NOL signifies that the individual is not legally authorized to drive; thus, being without the physical document can lead to legal repercussions. While other options like driving while license revoked (DWLR) or license suspension are related to situations where someone might lose their driving privileges due to specific infractions or points against their driving record, they do not pertain directly to the act of merely failing to carry the license.

Driving While Impaired is a separate offense primarily concerned with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which is not relevant in this context regarding possession. Therefore, the association of failing to carry a valid driver’s license with the offense of NOL is the most accurate reflection of the law.
