I guess this is kind of car related.

When you go to test drive a new car why do they ask for a copy of your drivers license? Ive heard that they can run a credit check on you while out on the test drive. Is this true? I was checking out a Passat today but the salesman wouldnt let me test drive it with out giving him a copy of my id. I wasnt comfortable with that and offered to just show it to him and he could come along with me. But he wouldnt do it so I passed on the test drive. When I bought my GTI I dont remember having to do this but I know other dealers have requested it.
