To those of you in Joisey who seem to dislike Social Security Numbers as
Driver's Licence Numbers, Massachusetts also uses SSN's as driver's licence
numbers.  However, you can request a different number by omitting the SSN from
the application.  This will give you a number beginning with "S" and having 8
numbers after it.  This also seems to aggravate the motor vehicle somewhat. I
believe this option is required by the federal Social Security laws.  See if
something similar is available in Jersey.  How about other states?  I know at
least Washington, D.C. also has SSN's as DL id's by default.
