It'll cost you a small amount of cash but still, easier than making up a lie. Not too mention asking for a duplicate keeps the information the same as the original card (such as photo, expiration date, etc.) Usually you can go to the DMV and just ask for a duplicate.

Instead, I found a cheap way to repair the break. I spent a few dollars at Home Depot on a package of electrician's polyolefin heat-shrink tubing. These are black polymer tubes used as shrink-wrapped insulation on spliced wires. I slid 2 layers of tubing (3/16" and 1/4") over the broken earpiece hinge and shrink-wrapped my glasses back together with my lighter. This worked well - as the frames are dark, the repair is not very noticeable. The earpiece hinge no longer bends, though. If you wear glasses, these little polymer tubes (and a lighter) are very useful to keep on hand.

Along with these items I also carry a fresnal magnifier lens, folded dust mask and 2yds of duct tape, and a folded plastic water carrier. It all folds up very nicely with a rubber band keeping it together. The most important item I carry though, my Benchmade Griptilian folding knife. There is no tool more important and versatile to carry than a high quality knife. Most of these items, and similar, can be found at; http://www.countycomm.com.
