FWIW (not much) my local region sticks people in the computer as they
register.  Doesn't seem to slow anything up much.  By the time the money
taker is done, the computer entry person has entered in the car/driver
info.  This is made easier if the software has some idea of history, but
isn't required.

Heck, even if you had to have two folks doing computer entry and then a
merge, seems like it'd be doable.

Pre-registration would be a nice bonus of course.

etc.
