Reply to comment by mkt853 in Anyone ever get pulled over for not having a front plate on their vehicle? by MrBleah

it’s because drivers licenses act as a standing ID card. if they didn’t have this information, then you would need to have both a drivers license and an ID, rather than just one or the other

Your ID is your name + DOB/SSN. Your address has nothing to do with your identity as it is not unique to you. There are very few times and places where you need to prove your address outside of voting. Having your address on your license or ID is overkill and unnecessarily compromises personal information any time you show ID. Ironically CT doesn't use SSNs for your driver license number because of this.

I love it when people think their own personal “logic” trumps actual reality. It’s so cute, and naive.
