> I wish they took the French and German (and elsewhere approach) where they use some of the revenue to identify the driver and fine them + penalize their license.

I don't think this is really necessary if implemented in california. Here, with the driving culture we have, the driver is going to be 99.9% the owner of the vehicle or their spouse.

If it's a rental car, just charge the rental company and they'll pass it to whoever was renting at the time.

No need to have some kind of investigation that ends the same way each time.
