Doesn't the government already greenlight vehicle usage with the drivers license?

You can drive without one. If there is an emergency you can escape a fucking forest fire for example.

“Man dies after forest fire engulfs home; couldn’t outrun flames and car was remotely disabled due to overdue registration; ‘Hand were tied’ says DMV”

Fair enough, didn't want to appear pro stupid car lock mechanism. I think it would be beneficial to to limit drunk driving as much as possible, but but not in a way that overcomplicates driving and makes it more dangerous.

Had to laugh at 'Hands were tied' though lol, sounds too realistic
