Good question Jay.
In California, the penalties for driving without drivers license are fines/court fees and towing and impoundments of the vehicle the unlicensed motorist is driving. The vehicle may also be taken away from you as a forfeiture if you have prior conviction for driving without insurance in California.
It is misdemeanor to drive without a valid drivers license in California. All motorist are required for the driver to carry his license while driving at all times. If you drive without car insurance or revoked license, you may be fined with $1000 for the first conviction.
If a minor drives without a valid license, the minor will be delayed for receiving his driver’s license. Before they can receive or obtain a valid license or permit, the California Department of Motor Vehicle should be able to give the minor the information of what licensing penalties would be.
Normally the county court where you were cited for the conviction will be the one who will assign the fine. You may call the court or other entity listed on the ticket to find out more information on the penalties for driving without valid license in the state of of California.
