Because legal records, at least with relation to Tx, are indexed according to Tx DL#. Warrants for example are issued against DL# and not just SS#. During a criminal records search in Tx. you'll never be asked for a SS#. They're also public record so somebody may want to make finding info harder.

Because it is still a "linking" number used for identification. -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** "Despite almost every experience I've ever had with federal authority, I keep imagining its competence." John Perry Barlow

the article spoke about drinking. most likely, driving drunk is recorded somewhere (if they get you), and most likely tied to your DL#.
