If he got into an automated speeding trap, they'd just have checked the license plate to identify the owner of the car and then mailed the ticket to him. They don't really care who drove unless the owner said they weren't the one driving and started to dispute the fine, so I'd not be surprised if they didn't check the license.
Honestly, I've been driving for fifteen years, and I've never had to show my license to anyone. I've gotten three or so very low-level speeding tickets (in the "damn, this was a 50-kph zone, not a 70-kph as I thought" category), and once a call from the local police because I'd really inadvertently blocked someone's driveway in the dark and snow and they decided to do the quick and logical thing and tell me to move rather than tow the car. I'd be surprised if any of those things had involved anyone looking at my driving license.
