So long as it's free I say they can give me an I.D. card.
It will go with all other important/might be needed documents, into my paperwork drawer,
why? because if they ever stop me it will surely be a cheaper lift home than a taxi!
If stopped, the alternatives would be giving me a piece of paper similar to the one for producing your motoring documents and then letting me go, (And of course a terrorist would turn up wouldn't he), or taking me to the cells until proof could be obtained or acting like a taxi and driving me home!
The amount of police time wasted just because we didn't carry this particular piece of bureaucracy would soon outweigh any so called benefits.
I have managed to exist for over 50 years without carrying such documentation 24/7,
I don't see how changing this situation will improve my life style one jot.
If at any time in the past proof of I.D. was needed I have always willingly sorted something out, (passport, driving licence, etc.).
But I am not prepared to have a document that has me breaking the law just because I don't have it with me.
