I've always thought that if one of us is going out with our wife or girlfriend, it would make more sense to ask her to drive. Alone, of course, you don't really have a choice.
In Minnesota I believe if you do not have your drivers license when asked by police they will issue a citation. Depends on the town or village in some cases on citation. In my town you can appear in court and present your drivers license to the judge. The judge my forgo the violation fee if you convince the judge that forgetting to have drivers license in possession was a lapse in judgement. However the violation may be placed on drivers license record.

Was stopped for a headlight out at night, presented my drivers license even though it showed M as the sex. I was dressed in female attire with a wig and full makeup. Nothing said about my attire and presentation as female by the officer who stopped me. The officer checked my drivers license record. Record was clear so he issued a verbal warning to have the headlight repaired so not to get stopped again.
