The following excerpt is from Vix v. Brown, 951 F.2d 365 (9th Cir. 1991):
[t]he use of the public highways by motor vehicles, with its consequent dangers, renders the reasonableness and necessity of regulation apparent. The universal practice is to register ownership of automobiles and to license their drivers. Any appropriate means adopted by the states to insure competence and care on the part of its licensees and to protect others using the highway is consonant with due process.
See Reitz v. Mealey, 314 U.S. 33, 36 (1941).
