You'll also have noticed that Supersize Me also involved the protagonist
driving around...

No idea about biometrics, but there are moves afoot to force the states
to a single standard.

That said, you'd be unlikely to find a country where ALL citizens have
driving licenses.  At the very least, the whole point of a license is
that it can be revoked.

>A am not sure about the French one. I lived there for a year and registered with the local authority (which is common in many european countries) and you get a stamp in your passport that I didnt have to carry around at all the time. Not sure what they would say if I produced my driving license instead?

Depends if the coppers liked the look of you or not.  If you're black-
or arab-looking, I don't like your chances in France.
