  1. It may result in a warning only
  2. It can lead to legal penalties
  3. It ensures that insurance is not needed

Answer: B — It can lead to legal penalties

Driving without a valid license can lead to legal penalties because operating a vehicle without the proper credentials demonstrates a disregard for the laws that govern road use and safety. Each state has specific regulations regarding licensing, and being unlicensed can result in fines, points on your driving record, and even potential criminal charges depending on the situation. Moreover, being unlicensed can complicate matters in the event of an accident, including liability and insurance claims. The legal system typically views a valid driver's license as a basic requirement necessary for responsible vehicle operation, so violating this requirement directly invites legal consequences.
