Driving with a photocopy of your license is illegal and can result in serious consequences, such as:
- being pulled over and ticketed by law enforcement
- being arrested and charged with a crime
- having your license suspended or revoked
- being denied insurance coverage in the event of an accident
It's also important to note that some countries have strict laws against driving with a photocopy of your license, and you could face even more severe penalties if you're caught driving with one outside your home country.
To avoid these risks, always make sure to carry your original driver's license when driving. Keep your license in a safe place, such as your wallet or purse, and make sure it's not damaged or defaced. If your driver's license is lost or stolen, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to obtain a replacement as soon as possible.
