    You’re not required to carry your driving license, though. You only need to present it at a police station within 7 days of being stopped if asked.

    The way I could see this being useful would be a version of the driving license we already have, but with no entitlements to drive on the back for people who don’t. No other changes.

      Yes which is what I’m proposing. But that’s not what they’re talking about they’re talking about a totally separate ID card with no real reason for its existence.
