Motor voter works. Make opt-out option VERY clear at the time of license renewal. That's all. A simple "yes" or "no" from the driver. Make it impossible to get uninformed consent.
Why don't we make the opt in option clear at license renewal? That way the government isn't taking the rights of the people through complacency.
