    Solution

    As per Section 3 and Section 181 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988: • No person shall drive a motor vehicle in any public place unless they hold an effective driving licence authorizing them to drive that category of vehicle. • Driving without a valid licence is a punishable offence, with penalties including fine and/or imprisonment. • The law does not make exceptions based on rural vs. urban area, or whether the driver is accompanied. • The offence is considered serious due to public safety implications. • Even if no accident occurs, merely driving without a licence is sufficient for prosecution. The Act enforces strict compliance to ensure that only qualified individuals operate motor vehicles, reducing risks on public roads.
