The problem with an incentive scheme is that you need to identify those who
deserve the incentive. The insurance companies couldn't be expected to keep
accident data for instance (beyond their current no claims bonus scheme).
We all know that there is plenty of bad driving that does not result in any
form of prosecution.

Given the above it is unlikely that any incentive scheme will be sensible,
workable, and *fair*.
