    Ok…. But it’s the license that grants you the privilege to drive…

        Do you not have learners permits?

        Where I’m from a class 7 driver’s license is a learner’s permit. You only need to do a written test to be granted a class 7, but it’s still a license that grants you the privilege of driving.

        The only way what you’re saying makes sense is if you don’t consider a learner’s permit a license.

        Ok, but none of that explains how you can drive legally without a license

          “Necessary but not sufficient condition,” e.g. the light in your room might be off, but “suspending your light privileges” is easy at the breaker box.

            No. You’re still not making it make sense.

            You’re trying to tell everyone that you can legally drive without a license.

            Of course you can drive without a license, but not legally. A learner’s permit is a type of license.

            So how do you suspend a license that the guy didn’t have?

            What is the breaker box in your analogy? Breaking the guy’s legs?

              lol I meant a [circuit] breaker box (aka power/ac panel, breaker panel, distribution board, etc)

              So how do you suspend a license that the guy didn’t have?

              It’s just a minor legal misnomer. If a defendant happens to not have a driver’s license in the first place, suspension could be more accurately termed “prevention.” Logistically speaking, the state probably just generates a stub file/account with a valid license number then just adds the suspension to that empty driving record.

                Oh. Ok, I think I get it now… but it’s still weird.

                I’m not actually sure how that would work here… I do know that you can’t renew your license or plates without paying all overdue fines though.

            Yeah we finally got that cleared up a little further down :)

            I actually don’t know what happens in that situation where I live.
