In fact the driver's license is an identity card, containing the
holder's birth date, address, head shot, and other generally useful
information. There has always been great resistance to issuing an
internal passport/identity card in the U. S., because it is regarded as
the control instrument of a police state, as Soviet Russia used its
internal passports to rigidly control the movement and activities of its
citizens. So the driver's license serves the purpose, and New York State
issues an identity card on demand to non-drivers.
If the U. S. wanted to confine driver's licenses to use purely for
purposes of driving, and social security cards purely for collecting
pension benefits, there would have to be an internal passport, which
would beaurocratically duplicate the information already in most
people's pockets.
