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”
Or simply just driving on private property... You can drive all you want on private property with the owners permission.
"State disables car that was never driven on public road" is pretty bad from a personal freedom perspective.
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
And the use of breathalyzers in some states mandates after an offense.
