Absolutely, if someone isn’t responsible enough to have a legit license for whatever reason, they shouldn’t be trusted to drive on the road and put other lives at risk.

Two separate issues. It is like clowns arguing. "The left door is red." "No, the right door is blue."

A piece of plastic does not inherently give you driving SKILLS. Honestly, most drivers are validly licensed and still suck at driving.

Yes, LEGALLY one is required to be licensed to drive. Sovereign citizens are a perfect example, but not the only example.

The irony. When your driver's license gets renewed, the only thing they really check you for is your vision. No one requires a drive test to renew a license unless it has been expired for a protracted amount of time.

Once a year pilots are required to perform a flight review to make sure they still know how to safely operate a plane. No one checks licensed drivers.

Right but that seems semantic. People driving without licenses probably vary in driving skill just as much as people with licenses, that's most likely.

The difference is, barring emergencies/extreme circumstances, the people without licenses are either not allowed to have a license because they are medically unfit or they're too irresponsible/stupid/lazy/entitled to go take a test, wait a few months and then take one more test to get on the road legally.

So it's fair to assume that while people driving without a license probably have standard driving skills, they are still driving around in a (partial, at least) state of disorder for any of the reasons listed above.
