I don't think driver licenses are going away; they are the basic Amerikan police state ID card. Case in point: while on the job I was asked for ID by a well-meaning but nosey MARIN County gendarme who "asked for ID". So no problem: I pulled out my USA PASSPORT CARD which is the finest ID on the planet,

and gave it to him. He thanked me and then asked for the driver license as he could not deal with a passport ID. Naturally, being on foot on my own turf with no time for rigamarole (also spelled rigmarole), I said "I'm not driving and you have the best ID in the world as per your request sir." And so it goes in small towns across "Merika".

The officer was not amused...but his partner was.

Even in 'Merika: I had complied and you only have to comply...ONCE!
