The old driving license looked like a notebook or booklet, while the new driving license looks like a debit or credit card. The biggest feature of this card is that it has a microprocessor chip. Many important information related to the driver is hidden in it. Its importance is no less than the identity card and it is very important to have a driving license while driving. In case of its absence, you can also be fined.
