i know you might be trying to go for the "but it's not moving therefore he's not really driving" theme but...

he's OPERATING the vehicle. "operating" does not necessarily mean "moving". It includes turning the car on, off, and ... common sense.


the real issue with "requirement to present id" is... whether or not they can as the passengers.


since you've already shown that he wasn't a passenger but the driver - you answered your own question.

it might not be the answer you wanted to hear, but it is the one that fits what you've asked.



so out of curiosity, did he have his ID on him?
