Bar Coded Driver License?

I am asking about an idea to try to protect us from the DUI-addicts who keep driving while their license is suspended, and often ignore orders of the court to get treatment for their DUI-addiction,

Consider driver licenses issued with a bar code to be used in place of current key, or in addition to it, to start or unlock ignition. No bar code, no start car.

Older vehicles get converted over time. Insurance companies offer discounted rates on vehicles with this implemented. Auto registration record would capture whether or not a vehicle has this system.

Is this a good or bad idea?

Actually, this is an idea that has been thrown around for a while now. I am a big proponent of it. As well as the same type of thing on the outside of the car, a bar code on the center top of the windshield, it should have all your registration information. So if you are driving down the road and a police person sees you and wants to check you out, all they have to do is point a laser reader, similar to that used at the supermarket, to get your identity as well as the car's info. If something is incorrect, they can stop you for real.

If you are parked illegally, they can scan the car and a ticket will be printed out with all the info.

Technological advances. Nice that you won't have to put an ugly plate on the front of the car. The rear is OK but it ruins the lines in the front.
