Yes, my concern is with identity theft. Having the DL# in addition to a credit card number make it much easier to commit identity theft. And it does not give the retailer any more security writing it down.
I've never had my driver's license written on a cheque, but in all honesty, I hardly ever use a cheque. I usually use a credit card, because it generally offers the most protection. And as a bonus, I also get a small portion back from my credit card company.
