unlicensed driver
Permit-lacking vehicle operator
An unlicensed driver is someone who operates a motor vehicle without a valid driver's license—either because they never obtained one, let it expire, or had it revoked.
The term appears most often in legal and insurance contexts: The accident was caused by an unlicensed driver.
Insurance policies typically exclude coverage for unlicensed drivers.
