In France, these days, you lose your license. Period. I don't know what the results have been though, but I think it's a fairly good approach.

Man I remember when they used to take away peoples licenses in the USA. Good times. It’s like the only way you can get people to recognize that it’s a privilege and not a divine right is by taking it away.

They still do, after multiple DUI’s.

Sadly my youtube algorithm suggests that people with multiple DUIs have few moral qualms about driving without a license.

That’s probably what I’m noticing. Thanks for articulating the real problem

Or for owing money to the state for unrelated reasons.

Not in my state. DUI Dan is at large in Maine. We just all know to avoid him now. But he keep on going.

Spoken like someone never targeted by law enforcement in the US.

It was spoken like someone who made millions of dollars selling weed. Don’t break the traffic laws. Be discreet. Be polite if you get pulled over.
