What happens when your driver's liscence is swiped at a store?

Question

Sometimes when buying tobacco or alcohol, the clerk will swipe my liscence through a reader. What does this thing do? And what would happen if someone with a fake ID got swiped?

Answer 1

when your Drivers License is swiped by the clerk, a small amount, (usually one pint to 1/2 gallon of gasoline is removed from the tank of your personal vehicle. When a fake ID is used, the same amount of fuel is removed from a fake vehicle at an undisclosed location.

I know, I know: this seems a little excessive, but such is the way of DL swiping.

Hey, I don't make the rules, I just report them.
