Looks like Shoonra is right:
Possession of License
12951. (a) The licensee shall have the valid driver's license issued to him or her in his or her immediate possession at all times when driving a motor vehicle upon a highway.
Any charge under this subdivision shall be dismissed when the person charged produces in court a driver's license duly issued to that person and valid at the time of his or her arrest, except that upon a third or subsequent charge the court in its discretion may dismiss the charge. When a temporary, interim, or duplicate driver's license is produced in court, the charge shall not be dismissed unless the court has been furnished proof by the Department of Motor Vehicles that the temporary, interim, or duplicate license was issued prior to the arrest, that the driving privilege and license had not been suspended or revoked, and that the person was eligible for the temporary, interim, or duplicate license.
(b) The driver of a motor vehicle shall present his or her license for examination upon demand of a peace officer enforcing the provisions of this code.
Misdemeanors
40000.11. A violation of any of the following provisions is a misdemeanor, and not an infraction:
(a) Division 5 (commencing with Section 11100), relating to occupational licensing and business regulations.
(b) Section 12500, subdivision (a), relating to unlicensed drivers.
(c) Section 12515, subdivision (b), relating to persons under 21 years of age driving, and the employment of those persons to drive, vehicles engaged in interstate commerce or transporting hazardous substances or wastes.
(d) Section 12517, relating to a special driver's certificate to operate a schoolbus or school pupil activity bus.
(e) Section 12519, subdivision (a), relating to a special driver's certificate to operate a farm labor vehicle.
(f) Section 12520, relating to a special driver's certificate to operate a tow truck.
(g) Section 12804, subdivision (d), relating to medical certificates.
(h) Section 12951, subdivision (b), relating to refusal to display license.
Well, they still need to prove I am a DRIVER of a MOTOR VEHICLE for this to stick.
