You see it on the news all the time: Someone is arrested for driving with a suspended license. Now, I'm thinking, there must be a way to prevent this - with all the technology around. How about this: You put an RF tag device in driver's licenses (maybe it's already there, who knows? Then you make cars so that they won't start unless there is a valid license in the driver's seat.
This is a simple and ubiquitous technology: most, if not all college and business ID badges employ this sort of scanning. If you needed a license with an RF tag in it to drive, it would be much more difficult to drive on a suspended license (since you wouldn't have it).
I know you can't fix everything with technology, but you can take care of some things, and this might be a good one.
