Extreme penalties like that cause other problems. We should be focusing on rehabilitation, not revenge.
We should also focus on making life less car dependent.
In a LOT of areas, a vehicle is the only way to have a decent job. If you take that away for a single infraction, you’re dooming a lot of people to a low standard of living.
(I live in one of those areas, so I know. It has some public transportation, but it doesn’t go through residential areas, so you can only get between business areas, and a little bit of downtown.)
In a perfect world, that alone would solidify the push to be less car dependent, but we can’t even rise above Nazis, so that’s not happening before there’s another digit on the year number.
Driving is clearly better left to professionals, generally speaking. I wish it was all buses driven by people with excellent teaching and capability, but getting that kind of fleet up and running would take a lot of time. Driving would be a huge job market suddenly.
And danger would plummet. No one would need to outrun anyone, or need a nap, or be distracted. You could have a fairly low age of oldest driver as well.
But for now, FAFO.
