Was not aware of this new law Sept 1

11. Yes, same as before. You can now be charged with a misdemeanor if you

Refuse to show your license OR
Refuse to provide your DOB and address OR
Refuse to provide your TDL #


So, if you accidentally leave your license at home, you could be in a pickle. But if you do, you can provide other identifying info to determine if you have a valid DL. If you don't provide the info etc, you can be charged with a misdemeanor.

I would think the charges would be dropped if you go home and get your license in a timely manner.

I have my TDL memorized. (Most folks don't)

Haven't you been asked for your DL when you are pulled over for a violation?????? I'm always asked. I always assumed it was required. I think it always was, but now you can be charged with a misdemeanor for failing to provide the info.

Some states already require this.

I think this might be targeting illegal immigrants more than anything.
