In Germany they fixed this problem very easily. First time you use the defense "It wasnt me driving the car" they give you a freebie.

Second time it happens you are then forced to carry a log in the car that you MUST fill out for EVERY time you get in the car. If you are ever stopped by a cop they will ask for the log and if you have not filled it out for that drive, then you get tickets and fines.

You get away with the ticket once and then get to fill out the log the rest of your life. Is it worth it? Sure would not be for me...
