Wouldn't this impose some sort of control mechanism, akin to the "employment search" one which is already mentioned as inefficient and bureaucratic in the article?
For instance, isn't "pay them to drive more safely" similar to "make them pay fines when they drive unsafely, i.e. speeding"?
Actually, it's more like giving them an insurance discount when they carry around one of those black boxes that measures their driving. But it's not very different from what you said, really. Is it inefficient and bureaucratic? It's not that difficult to ask someone to step on a scale and measure their weight and height, or determine whether they have completed a college course. I think the benefits are worth the effort.
