    The registered owner does get fined, and in extreme cases like this probably should have their license revoked, but overall I do actually think it’s for the best that an automated system can’t take away your license.

      Then take away the car or boot it until the owner goes to court and proves it was not them driving the car. If you can’t prove it you are then the default driver based on ownership. Don’t wanna take the heat don’t loan out your car.

      In the UK this map wouldn’t be possible because the drivers responsible would be banned from driving. I feel a lot safer on the streets in the UK as a pedestrian than anywhere in the US.
