Why is it so hard to enforce against uninsured motorists?

Question

Minimum car insurance is required in almost every state. How come it’s so difficult to require all insurance carriers to employ some uniform format/signature so that all official entities can easily scan and see if you’re driving around uninsured? One would think it’s as easy as issuing an EZtag or EZpass etc along with your policy, or maybe even just issue some extra code associated with the insured vehicle’s VIN or plate.

In California, they’ll cancel your vehicle registration if your liability insurance lapses (although I think it takes like 30 days).
