How can I report someone for driving without a license in California?

My sister snuck out last night and borrowed my parents’ truck. Is there an easy way to report someone who was driving without a license in the state of California?

In order to anonymously report someone for
driving without a license
 in
California
, you can call the 800-78-CRIME tip hotline or contact the police. 
However, if the person you're reporting isn’t actively driving at the time you call, there’s not much that can be done no matter which number you call.
Our suggestion: Talk to your parents about what’s been happening. While they won’t get your sister into legal trouble, they can certainly punish her for her actions and prevent her from doing it again.

Can you request a female Uber driver?
I take an Uber to and from work as a bartender. Since I get done around 3 a.m., I feel more comfortable if a woman picks me up rather than a man. Can I specifically request a female Uber driver?
