What is the primary function of a driver's license?

To maintain ownership of a car
To legally operate a motor vehicle
To keep track of medical information
To record driving history

The correct answer is: To legally operate a motor vehicle

The primary function of a driver's license is to legally operate a motor vehicle. A driver's license serves as an official document that grants individuals the authority to drive on public roads. It acts as proof that the driver has met the necessary requirements, including passing written and driving tests, to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to operate a vehicle safely. While maintaining ownership of a car is important for vehicle registration, it is not the main purpose of a driver's license. Although medical information or driving history may be accessible through other means, these aspects are not the primary roles of the driver's license. The focus of a driver's license centers on the individual's ability to operate a motor vehicle within the confines of the law.
