I certainly did in the UK, as well as to prove my age in a bar etc. Lots and lots of people "in their own countries" don't have a driver's license because public transport is enough.
- mehrdadn 7y agoSurely you realize the UK is well-known to take an unusual approach to ID issuance (or should I say lack thereof)?
- vinay427 7y agoThis has nothing to do with public transport. People here in Switzerland often carry ID cards or residence cards, and this seems common in many European countries similar to drivers licenses in the US and Canada. You also don't need to know how to drive to get a valid state ID in most states, as far as I know.
- Symbiote 7y agoBritain and Denmark are the only EU countries that don't issue identity cards. Britain has a proof of age card, but 10 years ago it wasn't recognized very well: http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/ http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/
