NSW resident. If I was driving I'd carry my physical license which I'd hand to police. If I was heading out by foot to a pub, bar, bottle shop or tobacconist I'd use my phone because that's how I pay for things. I'm not young looking but if I were, at least the phone would save me carrying a wallet. Opal, NSW's public transport payment system, works directly with contactless payment i.e. credit cards, debit cards, phones (all phones - hi Myki!), smart watches and, unsurprisingly, dedicated Opal cards. Making licenses app-based opens up the option to leave home without anything but your phone.
