Not everyone needs a visa of course, so it cannot be a simple attribute
of a country.

A driving licence says nothing about where you are allowed to drive, nor
does a number plate. The absence or presence of these things has no
bearing on your "permission" or otherwise to use a particular street.
UNLESS there is a sign saying "no vehicles without number plates" or "no
unlicensed drivers"... 

In some places there are circumstances under which it is legal to drive
without a licence, and without number plates.
