Although Philip Rivers made a return to pursue individual achievements, he also did something very useful for his big family in the process:

If an ICE vehicle has incorrect plates, maybe the vehicle should automatically be towed? Maybe there could also be legislation that causes a person to lose their driver's license if they're driving a vehicle with plates that have been intentionally switched and their insurance voided?
