It depends if you mean you don't have your license with you or you do not have one or have an expired/suspended license.....In California if you get stopped for a violation and don't have yours with you, if the Officer can prove your identity to his satisfaction (not a big deal) he will maybe write you a "fix it" ticket for not having it with you while driving......provided your attitude doesn't get you in more trouble.
If you have never had one, it is expired or suspended then you will get a misdemeanor ticket (if your identity can be confirmed) and your vehicle gets impounded for THIRTY days. You can request a hearing to get it back but less then 15% of them go back before 30 days. Once the 30 days is up, the registered owner has to go down to the impound yard with ID, registration and a ton of money AND they have to have a release slip from the Agency that towed it.
If your identity can't be confirmed, you could be looking at a misdemeanor arrest for no license/suspended license. Basically 6-12 hours in a holding cell and then you get cited out and get a court date, but the same thing happens to your car.

Your motorcycle will be towed You will be arrested for driving without a license/insurance/registration You will lose your driving privileges for a determined amount of time Heavy fines and absolute worst case is loss of license and jail for repeat offenders.

I have only lived in Florida, and it depends on which law enforcement agency pulls you over. Most, will not permit you to drive away. You will get a ticket and the car will sit or be towed away, which you pay for.

well, that depends if you mean that the operator just forgot to bring his valid drivers license with him, in which you may receive a non-moving violation that amounts to $77.50, and may be reduced to $15.00 if you can show that you did have a valid license when you were stopped, but forgot to carry it. If you just don't have a drivers license, then you can be charged with a 2nd degree misdemeanor, which the Officer may decide to take you to jail or release you from the scene with a future court date.

You may spend a couple hours in jail. You will get fined. Your car will probably be towed.

You could be arrested and put in jail, and car towed.

Put in jail and gang raped would be my worst case scenario, not sure how likely it is though.
