A. Unless
otherwise provided for by law, it shall be unlawful for any person,
except those expressly exempted by Section 302.080, RSMo., to:
1. Operate
any vehicle upon any highway in this City unless the person has a
valid license;
2. Operate
a motorcycle or motortricycle upon any highway of this State unless
such person has a valid license that shows the person has successfully
passed an examination for the operation of a motorcycle or motortricycle
as prescribed by the director. The director may indicate such upon
a valid license issued to such person, or shall issue a license restricting
the applicant to the operation of a motorcycle or motortricycle if
the actual demonstration, required by Section 302.173, RSMo., is conducted
on such vehicle;
3. Authorize
or knowingly permit a motorcycle or motortricycle owned by such person
or under such person's control to be driven upon any highway by any
person whose license does not indicate that the person has passed
the examination for the operation of a motorcycle or motortricycle
or has been issued an instruction permit therefor;
4. Operate
a motor vehicle with an instruction permit or license issued to another
person.
B. In any prosecution charging a violation of Subsection
(A)(2) above, proof that an unlicensed person was driving the motor vehicle or motorcycle described in the complaint, together with proof that the defendant named in the complaint was, at the time described in the complaint, the registered owner of the motor vehicle or motorcycle, shall constitute a prima facie presumption that such registered owner was the person who authorized or knowingly permitted the unlicensed person to drive the motor vehicle or motorcycle at the point where, and during the time which, the violation occurred.
C. An operator's
license issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 302, RSMo., shall
be carried at all times by the lawful holder thereof while driving
a motor vehicle or motorcycle upon the streets and highways of this
City, and shall be displayed upon the demand of any Police Officer,
Peace Officer, or any other duly authorized person employed by this
City for inspection when demand is made therefor. Failure of any operator
of a motor vehicle or motorcycle to exhibit his/her license shall
be presumptive evidence that such person is not a duly licensed operator.

B. No person
shall lend or knowingly permit the use by another of any operator's
license or instruction permit issued to the person lending or permitting
its use.

shall display or represent as one's own any operator's license or
instruction permit not issued to the person displaying the license.
