1. Traffic Stop: If a law enforcement officer stops a vehicle and discovers that the driver is unlicensed, they may issue a citation or ticket to the driver.
2. Impoundment or Towing: In many jurisdictions, unlicensed drivers are not permitted to drive the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle may be impounded or towed by the authorities. The vehicle may be taken to a police station or towing facility.
3. Release of the Vehicle: The vehicle may be released to the owner or a licensed driver who is authorized to drive the vehicle. To release the vehicle, the owner or authorized driver may need to present the necessary documents and pay any applicable fees or fines.
4. Additional Consequences: Beyond the impounding of the vehicle, there may be other consequences for the unlicensed driver, such as fines, points on their driving record, or even criminal charges.
It's important to note that the specific procedures and laws regarding impounding vehicles for unlicensed drivers can vary. If you are concerned about this situation, it's best to consult with an attorney or review the local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
