They are trying that w/ DWI cases in places but are
running into trouble.  You wind up with cars that are
not owned in part or not at all by the driver.  Then
you are punishing the other owner w/o cause.  If
someone's name is on the title you can't very well keep
them from driving it and you dang well can't control
what they do in it.
