Seems to me that a "recommendation" from the privacy commissioner in one province to Crappy Tire is not even close to a guarantee that Crappy Tire has done anything at all to change their computer system.
Even if they stopped showing a field for entry of driver's license info on the screen, that doesn't mean that it couldn't still be scanned using a card reader, and stored without being displayed on the screen. Besides, clerks can just write down the driver's license number of a paper form for retention, and it could easily be manually entered into a database later.
We still read reports here and elsewhere of customers having additional information being recorded, and not simply viewed and confirmed without being recorded.
The only way to know your information is safe, is to prevent it from being recorded in any manner.
