    Yeah, just hand the cop your phone. Smart.

      In every example I have seen, displaying your insurance card locks down your phone until you enter a pin to prevent exactly this issue.

    Fascinating. Does this require you hand a cop your unlocked phone?

      In my state, it’s a barcode they scan from your screen.

    In Texas for sure you can add your DL to your Apple wallet and definitely let you show a picture of your ID instead of the physical card

    Some of those states that allow these digital id’s still require u to have your physical ID on you while driving

  It’s not illegal to not have ID.

  It is illegal to drive without a license.

  Depending on what you’re doing, it’s perfectly fine to leave ID at home (assuming you’re light skinned, but also ID doesn’t save you anyway in some cases)
