License
From Burnopedia, the Burnout wiki
The license shows how much a player has progressed in Burnout Paradise. Many vehicles obtained by either winning events or by shutting them down require a higher license before they can be driven.

[edit] Overview
The game starts out with a Learner's Permit. To upgrade the license, the player must complete the required number of events. Each time the license upgrades, all events are reset and can be completed again to count toward the next license.
The last time the events reset is when the Burnout License is earned. To obtain the Burnout Elite License, the player must complete every event in Paradise City.
