Here's where your enforcement problem is.

We currently have bi-laws about driving (which everyone does once per semester), and are thinking about that if you didn't pay a certain balance by certain dates (like 2 per semester), then you have an extra driving shift. The only problem is the "trail" it leaves behind on our driving records we keep (b/c "social dues" are not recognized by nationals, campus, etc.)

So is it not allowed? If you're doing something you shouldn't be doing, stop doing it and find another solution. If you're doing something that's allowed, then don't worry about the trail, use it to prove you're holding people to standards.
Be careful though that you don't just end up with NO money and lots of people who want to drive.
We were prohibited from having 'driving' programs so to speak, but we did have an option to pay fines via community service hours instead. (And real community service, not stuff at the chapter room/etc.)
