...it depends just as much on the attitude/actions of the citizen who's stopped, whether or not slack and understanding are extended, or whether the law is strictly enforced, letter by letter...some folks seem to get off with a warning often...some folks never do...there's a lot of give and take on both sides...or not...

...I run down a list everytime I leave the house...physically touch my wallet...I've never forgotten it...yet...but the dread of losing it and being carrying prompted me to take my original CHL and cut it up in small pieces when I got my address change one...and I keep them in the ashtray in the truck...if I'm ever checked, and without my wallet...I figure at least they'll know I had one...if I had a dollar for all the times I pulled someone over and tried to check this or that and was told "the computer is down"...I'd be on vacation this week...it might not help but couldn't hurt to photocopy our D. Lic. and CHL and keep them with the insurance...not legal or binding that the officer accept them, but shows some responsibility/concern to do the right thing on our part... someday, that'll be included on our chip...and they'll just scan us...
