If you own a car, and your license is suspended- what are the chances you are going to either a) loan your car to a friend or family member; b) ask a friend or family member to drive you somewhere (possibly in your own car) to get groceries/run other errands? I think the odds are pretty good.

Easy enough to clear that up when the car is pulled over.

I agree, it's fair game for probable cause. Otherwise, they couldn't pull over a car driven by bank robbers or kidnappers on the basis of its license number.
