You need a license to drive only if you get caught.

You need a license to drive, period. It's a rule you agree to follow as a driver whether someone is doublechecking you or not.

The 'It's not a crime unless I get caught' mentality is very troubling, and potentially dangerous, to all the upright people who just want to live in peace.

I don't think you understand what I meant.

There's tons of drivers on the road without a license, especially drivers who got their license suspended for one reason or another. There's nothing preventing them from owning a car, putting the key in it and hitting public roads, so what do you think happens? They just do it!

t's a rule you agree to follow as a driver

so is not driving under influence? Why should they care about having a license if they're going to drive drunk anyway, rules aren't stopping them

If they don't have a license they never agreed to that rule, no?
