A driver’s license is defined .... as: any operator’s license or any other license or permit to operate a motor vehicle issued or issuable under the laws of this state* * * including: (b) The privilege of any person to drive a motor vehicle whether or not such person holds a valid license * * *. Appellant’s privilege to drive was revoked and was not reinstated, even if he never had a valid license. He may be convicted ... of the aggravated violation.”
