Driver's license
Driver's License
A Driver's License (pronunciation: /ˈdraɪvərz ˈlaɪsəns/) is an official document, often plastic and the size of a credit card, permitting a specific individual to operate one or more types of motorized vehicles, such as a motorcycle, car, truck, or bus on a public road.
Etymology
The term "Driver's License" is derived from the verb "drive", which in turn comes from the Old English term "drifan", meaning to move, and the noun "license", which comes from the Latin word "licentia", meaning "freedom" or "permission".
