- Driving_licence_in_the_United_Kingdom abstract "In the United Kingdom, the driving licence is the official document which authorises its holder to operate various types of motor vehicle on highways and some other roads to which the public have access. In England, Scotland and Wales they are administered by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and in Northern Ireland by the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA). A driving licence is required in the UK by any person driving a vehicle on any highway or other road defined in s.192 Road Traffic Act 1988 irrespective of ownership of the land over which the road passes thus including many which allow the public to pass over private land; similar requirements apply in Northern Ireland under the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.The use of driving licence cards as a proof of identity of a person is murky within UK law as it is approached today. Identity cards for UK nationals were introduced in 2009 on a voluntary basis, and the attempt to introduce a nationwide identity-card scheme in 2010 was reversed mid-course and quashed, its in-progress database unilaterally halted and then destroyed. Only workers in certain high-security professions, such as airport workers, were required to have an identity card in 2009, and this general lack of ID being compulsory tends to remain the case today. Therefore, driving licences, particularly the photocard driving licence introduced in 1998, along with passports are now the most widely used ID documents in the United Kingdom. Given many people do not carry their passports in public without an advance knowledge that they are going to need them, this leaves driving licences as the only valid form of ID to be presented, if requested by an authority for a legitimately-given reason. Colloquially, in day-to-day life, most authorities do not ask for identification from individuals in a sudden, spot check type manner, such as by police or security guards, although this may become a concern in instances of stop and search.".
