I agree with your idea about a national driver's license, but I believe
that cars should be licensed every year instead of just once.
Let me explain why.

A person can drive with a suspended driver's license for an extremely long
time without being caught, but a car license is a different story.
It is easier to spot and can be checked for quicker.

I think that a person should have to renew his car license once a year
and would have to show a valid driver's license and have prepaid
insurance for that year.  This would help eliminate unisured motorists
and keep bad drivers off the road.

I think if this was done on a national level, it could help in a number of 
other legal matters.  One example is a person leaving the state to avoid
debts.
