If you want to see impressively large numbers of exotic, classic, and otherwise unique cars in one place, celebrity car collections are a great place to look. Rapper and entrepreneur Rick Ross has one of the biggest car collections in the world with over 100 vehicles. However, up until recently, Ross could not legally drive any of them because he didn't have a

driver's license.

According to

People

, Rick Ross did not have a license until he was 45, which seems bizarre considering how much he loves cars. The cars in his collection were worth getting a driver's license for, too, as his collection has some amazing cars in it.

At age 45, Rick Ross finally got his driver's license

Rick Ross not having his driver's license was something of a running joke for a long time. The idea of someone with as many cars as Ross not having a license was almost funny. Thankfully, Ross finally got his license when he was 45 years old.

Ross finally took the test and got his license thanks to his mother and sister insisting on it. Even though he did not score perfectly on the test, he did pass, unlike some other celebrities who failed their driving tests.

So, what did someone with so many cars do without a driver's license? According to Ross, he would sometimes take the cars out, but he was always let go if he was pulled over. This is definitely not a good idea unless you're recognizably famous, and even then, we don’t recommend it.

What happens if you drive without a license?

Rick Ross eventually got his driver's license, and he somehow never got in trouble for not having one before. However, driving without a license is always illegal, no matter where in the United States you live.

According to

FindLaw

, the exact laws vary by state, but in general, every driver needs a valid license. Driving without a license can lead to legal fines that depend on the state. In some instances, like in Washington, a driver can even get sentenced to jail time.

With this in mind, it was a good idea for Ross to go ahead and get his license. Getting a driver's license should be a priority for anyone who wants to get behind the wheel.
