In the United Kingdom, the driving licence is the official document which authorises its holder to operate various types of motor vehicle on public roads. In England, Scotland and Wales they are administered by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and in Northern Ireland by the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA). Whilst a licence is required to drive on a public road,[1] any person may drive on private land with the consent of the landowner, but it is illegal - regardless of any licence - to drive without lawful authority on any common public land, such as moorland.[2]
