I'm not advocating an outright ban for any infringement. However, bans do often appear to be short when people are disqualified. For instance driving ban guidelines are:
If you have 12 or more penalty points, you could be banned from driving for:
6 months if you get 12 penalty points or more within 3 years
12 months if you get a 2nd disqualification within 3 years
2 years if you get a 3rd disqualification
All of those indicate that the driver hasn't rehabilitated as they're repeat offences.
In extreme circumstances you see drivers getting disqualified 20 times and still driving. http://road.cc/content/news/27511-breaking-seven-years-jail-and-lifetime-ban-lorry-driver-who-killed-catriona-patel At some point you have to accept that they shouldn't be allowed to drive anymore.
