If driving is essential for you, then you shouldn't drive like an asshole, go over the speed limit multiple times or drive recklessly, endangering others.
If you're putting people in danger because you can't understand the implications of driving a multi-ton metal box at insane speeds, you shouldn't be allowed to do it.
Well, they aren’t allowed to do it while they are in prison, right? Are you proposing people should be barred from car ownership forever after, even with a heavily limited provisional license? Are you equally motivated to extend that logic to any other type of crime?
Not to take the side of serial speeders and the like, not at all. But there’s a lot of legal and ethical context to unpack, not to mention the practicality of actually “taking away” driving from someone. We just don’t have a magic wand that solves the problem
