"Proof of registration / insurance detection."

With automatic license plate readers, those two are detected right off. Authorized operator? If I lend my car to a friend, do I need to notify some government database? As far as attentiveness goes, I've known many parents that should have disciplined their children much better so they didn't need to be yelled at so constantly while in the car. I know if my dad had to say "knock it off" more than once on a trip, my sister and I would be seriously regretting our actions. My dad knew about kids on long trips so we were talked to and given a good supply of things to keep us occupied. Anybody shown to have been in or caused an accident while on their phone/texting should be treated the same as somebody arrested for intoxicated driving. I'm really tempted to suggest the same for parents with unruly kids.
