What happens if a driver requests to take a driving test and passes while being unlicensed?

When a driver requests to take a driving test and passes while being unlicensed, they cannot claim any loss of income benefits. This is because, in many jurisdictions, driving tests are designed to assess a person's capability to operate a vehicle and do not constitute legal authorization to drive. Since the individual was unlicensed prior to passing the test, they do not meet the legal requirements to claim any benefits tied to being a licensed driver, including loss of income benefits that are often associated with the use of a vehicle for work-related purposes.

The inability to claim such benefits underlines the importance of holding a valid driver’s license before engaging in driving activities that could impact employment.
