I would think a copy of your drivers license wouldn't cut it if you were stopped....unless you are a passenger. I. NEVER take my passport out of the safe. License, one CC, and some cash..and now...a copy of my vac card on my phone
We used to carry copies of our licenses, and were stopped on the French side once. The gendarmes didn't mention that it was a copy, may not have even realized it was.
