   Just remember that if we use license plates for positive identification
   that you will be prosecuted for anything your friends (or children, etc.)
   may do while driving your car.  Sounds to me like there is a presumption
   of guilt in here somewhere.

   So what is this that you're going to "get them" for?  Because you were
   scared while driving your car?  Because you think they are a poor driver?
   Or because you want to prove how big an ego you have?

   This all reminds me of those cute phrases like "sinking to their level",
   that my mother used on me 15 years ago.  Seems applicable here.
