In order for retinal scans or fingerprint scans to work, it would require a state or country-wide databse of all drivers' retinal or fingerprint information.

Not really necessary, the data could simply be stored on your licence (magnetic strip or a small chip). But of cours ethe equipment isn't up there yet, unfortunately. But this is also a much safer method of identification. Identifying someone from a picture is not a fool-proof method.
