Le permis ne comporte pas la photographie du titulaire, et il n'est pas obligatoire de l'avoir sur soi.Aux États-Unis, l'âge d'obtention du permis ( driver's license) varie suivant les États de quinze à vingt et un ans. Les apprentis conducteurs ou les adolescents peuvent obtenir un permis spécial (« learner's license » ou « junior's license ») qui n'est valable que pour certains trajets précis, celui du lycée par exemple. Le permis de conduire américain sert souvent de carte d'identité et doit être porté par son titulaire. Il doit être renouvelé tous les quatre, cinq ou six ans selon les États.* * *['draɪvɪŋ] 1.noun conduite f2. 3.adjective [rain] battant; [wind, hail] cinglant -
