Look at the datatype you used for name. It's char. That's no moon (or string.)

[Reverend Jim]

You have to declare your strings to have enough space to hold the longest expected string. Since you declared only one char for name (for example), any unused input chars are used to fill input requests for the other input variables. Try something like char[50] for name, etc. As written, if I entered "Jim" for name I would get the following results:

name = "J"
drivinglicense = "i"
address = "m"

Another issue is your use of "\n" << endl; for end-of-lines. Leave out the "\n" the endl will deal with that for you. Common beginner mistake with C++ string output. Remember that endl will also flush the output stream. You only need the extra new-line if you want your output to have extra spaces.
