Not exactly. The laws of every state require that motorists carry their DL while driving and present it when stopped by a traffic cop. Not presenting a DL -- a real one, not a homebrew joke -- suggests to the cop that (1) you are not fit to operate a vehicle on the highway and/or (2) you are some sort of fugitive concealing his identity. Either way the rest of your day may be out of your hands because he's not supposed to let you drive away if he's not satisfied that you are qualified to operate a vehicle, and he may want to verify your identity to make sure you're not one of America's Most Wanted.
But, hey, that's just my opinion. You do it your way and see what happens.
