Last year, 930,000 Brits lost their driver's license or had it stolen.  
Under new plans by the Labour government, that will put bundles more 
money into the Government Treasury with #30 fines after the new U.K. 
identification cards in 2009.  Of course for drivers that is just a drop 
in the bucket on top of the other whopping fines that will be coming 
with the cards:

    #1,000 for failing to return a dead relative's ID card
    #30 for women to get a new card if they want to use their married
    name (#9 to the Government
    #1,000 fine for women whouse their married name without a new card
    #1,000 fine for anyone not informing the government of a new address
    #1,000 fine for any student who did not change his residence from
    school to home or home to school each term

The ID cards will have a photograph of the owner, as well as a microchip 
that the Goverment has so far publicly admitted, biometric information 
such as old-fashioned fingerprints, plus gee-whiz stuff like iris or 
facial scans.

As well as a picture, the card will carry a microchip holding biometric 
information such as fingerprints, iris or facial scans.  For a good 
gasp--errr, grasp--of it all, check:

Can't you just see an SS Z|ndapp KS750 (mit sidecar) pulling up beside a 
Sprite somewhere in East Anglia, and the rider asking the driver, "Sie 
Papiere bitte."   Errrr, I mean, "Your papers please.)

Robert B. Evans, who said politely,
Ich habe keine Papiere, Sie Dummkopf.
