Not really.

1. You don't need a REAL ID to drive.

2. State IDs aren't the only way to get a REAL ID. All federally issued IDs are already REAL ID compliant.

Which is odd to say the least, because the documentation for a US passport (as of a couple years ago) was less stringent than that required by the REAL ID act.

Places like South Dakota do things to enable them to make a few bucks from vehicle registration for out of state people.
