  • I don't understand why we aren't a bit more willing to ban people from driving properly. Driving while on a mobile phone? Can't be anything other than your fault/choice to do so = year ban or more if repeat offence. Purposefully cause someone harm using your car? Psychopath = no liscence for you.

  • The analogy made by the guy that got hit seemed appropriate. If you had a gun licence and shot someone, it wouldn't just be suspended for 5 years and then they'd give you the gun back.

    Isn't that the direction the Govt is going by increasing the offence to 6 points? Two strikes and you should lose your license.

    An immediate switch to first offence = year ban doesn't give people enough time to adjust their behaviour.

    (They also need to crack down on letting people continuing to drive with 12+ points on their license otherwise it is toothless.)
