hmmm, this is odd. I have a Jersey License and my number bears little relation
that I can see to my SSN. It is broken up into 3 parts: the first starts wiht
the first letter of my last name, and is somehow hashed off the last name as
all the members of my family have the same first section of the number. I 
have been told that the middle section has something to do with my physical
description, but I cant verify that. I know the last section used to be 
Birthday and eye color, but they have changed that.

if they have made another change to the coding system, they have done it in
the past 2 years, as I got my license in 1983.
