Interesting. Here in California, it wouldn't work. Unless they made every officer memorize the license plate red-flag list, they are legally unable to pull you over until you violate a traffic law.

This seems to be the next version of the change from waiting 6 months to having to wait a year before once can drive their friends in a car. It's the law, yes, but no one follows it unless they have their parents breathing down their necks.

As for the intent of the law, I disagree. Usually if a student isn't doing that well in school, it has to do with a lack of support; parental, teacher related, or other reasons. If you then take away their means of transportation, they're not going to be as happy about going to school. If I were already failing, and then were denied the ability to get myself to the school that I was failing in, I would most likely drop out right then and join the military.

Just my two cents.
