No Valid Driver’s License Defenses
Unlawful Traffic Stop:
-
In instances where the defendant was stopped unlawfully, evidence that the driver was not licensed is not admissible in court. Therefore, a conviction cannot be upheld.
Non-Resident:
-
If the person accused actually has a driver’s license from a foreign country that is valid and in the defendant’s possession at the time of the traffic stop, this may be used as a defense.
Private Property:
-
Can be used as a defense if the defendant was not on a ‘street,’ ‘highway,’ or other place open to the general public. For example, if someone was driving on their grandmother’s farm without a driver’s license, this is a defense as they were on private property.
Lack of Evidence:
-
This can be used as a defense if the police lack evidence that the defendant did not have a license issued by another governmental authority.
