Is it true we have some time to produce our driving licence to the traffic police if they demand it and we do not have it on us?

Is driving without a license an arrestable offense ?
In the great state of Texas, yes you can be arrested for driving without a license. It does not matter the reason why you don't have you license. In Texas you can be arrested, given a ticket, or given a warning for any traffic violation other than Speeding and Open Container of Alcohol. It is the Police Officers decision on what he does. For Speeding or Open Container of Alcohol, the Officer has to issue a ticket or a warning. Now if you refuse to sign your ticket, you are saying you do not promise to appear in court for the ticket and can now be arrested to ensure that you do. The charges for not having a license are: No Valid Drivers License: Meaning you were never issued one. Display Expired License: Meaning you were issued one and it has expired. Fail To Display Drivers License: Meaning you have a valid drivers license, ut you do not have it with you at the time of the stop. Driving Whlie License Invalid (DWLI): Meaning your driving privileges have been suspended for any number of reasons. This use to be called Driving While License Suspended (DWLS). A common misconception with this is that those guilty of No Valid Drivers License seem to think they can not be charged with DWLI, because they were never issued a Drivers License so how can their License be suspended. It is not the License itself that is suspended, it is your driving privileges. For years it was the other way, but the Law is not blind and eventually noticed that people were not getting their License and therefore was able to avoid the more serious crime of DWLS. So recently they changed that law. Hope this helps and educates
Is there a penalty for driving without a physical license?
I was driving a car with an expired registration, and expired inspection (you have to get the inspection to get the registration, to help force people to keep registered). It was a Saturday morning, and I was going to get inspected. No really.I manged to leave my wallet at home. No really. When I was pulled over, I provided the name, address and DOB of the owner (not me), and my name, address and DOB. Last name of the driver and owner matched, as did the addresses. After what felt like an hour (when you are stressing), he came back for a ticket or no insurance (it was in the wallet too), and no license. Presenting them both at the police station within two weeks got both dismissed. He could have towed and impounded the car, but didn't. I went home, got the wallet, went back out, and got inspected and registered.So long as you are not otherwise interesting to the police, you shouldn't have trouble. If you are interesting to them (I'll leave out the obvious reasons), then they can do lots to you. So carry it at all times.

Can i join the military with bad driving history.?
it depends on the total number of moving violations you have and your dirivng record in general. i think you can have no more than 3 violations / citations (i.e. 3 speeding tickets) within a 5 year window. if you have more than what is allowed, you will need a waiver, and that won't happen in today's recruiting climate, you would jsut have to wait for it to drop off. another post is correct: you CANNOT enlist (i don't think you can even PROCESS to enlist, fill out paper work, etc) if you have outstanding civil or legal issues. any case before a court must be fully adjudicated! i thought you only had points against your license if you were CONVICTED of the offense you were charged with?
