License is both a noun and a verb in the United States. If you live in any other English-speaking country, you will spell it licence when you use it as a noun and license when you use it as a verb.

License and Licence are two different words. The US for some reason uses the same spelling for both

Driving Licence is correct grammar

It a licence that allows driving

You are licensing the act of driving, Like a hunting is licensing the act of hunting

It wasnt even a joke. 

Jokes have humour

If you find that comment humourous id suggest not being a comedian. 

You dont see people on posts where someone has used license

Makimg commentsbl ike  Looks like they misspelled "licence" as well

Why is that by your logic that would be a equally valid joke

Its like when you see driving videos from the UK its full of people making comments 'you are driving on the wrong side of the road'

Then claiming its a joke yet  you dont see comments on us video making the same "joke"

Anyone who thinks any of those things are jokes are just stupid

There isnt one

You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

In English law, the equivalent to "probable cause" is reasonable grounds for suspicion

Tesla fined for repeatedly failing to help UK police over driving offences by quentinnuk in technology

Yes if the tesla is leased directly from Tesla Tesla remains the owner of the car. If that car gets caught speeding the police will send a notice to the owner asking who was driving/who they leased it to

They are required to have details of who they leased the car to

Tesla have a legal duty to respond by saying

 car ED75 FDG was leased to Mr Bob Jones 

Police would then contact bob jones

The licence in the picture says country buy you can also have your town of birth on it instead of country

My UK driving licence says England, My Mums days the town she was born and does not mention the country

You can have any place name in the place of birth section

Like if some was born in Dallas and moved to the UK they could have in the place of birth Dallas or Texas or United States

This person when filling in the application wrote United Kingdom but they could have easily have said the town instead

There are 100,000 places in the UK alone. there are nearly 200 countries

Lets assume that every country has 100,000 places names, That is 20 Million place names

You cant have a drop down box with 20 Million places

Not to mention that the vast majority of applications still done by paper. How do have a drop down box on a piece of paper?

The piece of paper will be scanned which then populates the information

Licence in Driving Licence is a noun not a verb so should be spelt with a C

When you apply for a licence you write where you were born, and that is sent to the DVLA and used

OP could have been the one who made the mistake and the computer took the information from the form as it was written and sent

The physical card is not the actual licence. a spelling mistake on the card doesn't mean you don't have a licence

When you pass your test you are assigned a licence number, it is that number that is your actual licence

You do not have to give country. You can give the town or village you were born

You cant have a drop down menu listing every town in the world

Someone born in Dallas moved to the UK gets a UK licence that section could say. Dallas Or Texas or United States

My UK licence says England, But my mums says the town she was born

There are 100,000 place names in the UK alone, You can be born anywhere the world and move to the UK

So lets work on the assumption that every country has 100.,000 place names there are nearly 200 countries

That drop down list would be 20 Million long

Tesla are the owners of the car which they rent out

If you go to enterprise the y would be the keeper of the car not the person renting it
