No matter the country, does it make sense to arrest someone because he doesn't have a driver’s license?

 If you mean should it be possible to arrest a person who drives without being licensed? Yes! They have not demonstrated that they know and can follow the rules of the road.

 No one has tested them to see if they know how to safely operate a vehicle. Cars and trucks weigh thousands of pounds and can kill a person if not controlled even at low speeds. Someone who is unlicensed is also uninsured. Therefore, if they injure or kill someone they are creating not only misery but great financial harm to one or more people due to their reckless, selfish behavior. If they don't have enough commonsense to stay off the roads unless they are properly licensed and insured, then law enforcement needs to have the means to drill that message home in a way that it finally penetrates their thick skulls. If the unlicensed people need to spend time sitting in jail to stay off the road, so be it. They would have only themselves to blame for the expense and inconvenience.

 I’m assuming you mean someone who has never had a driver’s license, as opposed to someone who has one but left it home. If that’s the case, then yes.They’re endangering themselves and everyone on the road because of their recklessness and “I-can-do-whatever-I-want-to-do-and-y’all-can-go-fuck-yourselves” attitude. If they can’t follow the rules for getting on the road, they don’t follow the rules once they do get on the road, which is how most of them get found out in the first place. They get stopped for excessive speed, erratic driving, cutting off other drivers, running red lights and stop signs, etc., some because they don’t know any better, some because they just don’t give a shit. Once they find themselves in jail and their car towed to an impound lot—often the cars they drive aren’t registered; they take someone else’s plates and slap them on their car, figuring “no one will ever know!”—racking up storage fees, they find out that laws do indeed apply to them.

 You’re either too young to drive, or simply still don’t grasp the reason behind licensing and registration as an adult, which is unbelievable really. It’s to ensure people know the laws of the road where they want to operate a vehicle, knows how to read the road signs, know how to properly operate a vehicle, and agree to abide by those rules. Then you get insurance and pay for it based on your good or bad driving habits. When you’ve driven badly long enough, caused damage to others, or killed someone, your insurance rates will soar beyond belief, and then you’ll also get your license suspended or even revoked in some circumstances, like health or other medical issues. If people didn’t require a license to ensure everyone follows the rules and laws, then there’s no way to properly identify bad drivers and hold them accountable, simply put.
