Yeah, I mean the stupidly light punishments on drivers are obviously a big factor here. Aforementioned dickheads can get away with a string of moronic driving instances and have no repercussions. And when they do get caught it's a slap on the wrist. If you've proven (potentially on several occasions) you cannot be trusted to drive responsibly, I don't see why you shouldn't have your licence revoked. As well as having the bar lowered for what severity of offence(s) will result in subsequently attained licences being revoked.
I'm not meaning to come across as being on the side of asshole drivers, just that any plans to address it should be more than a sticking plaster.
Thankfully I've only had 1 occasion where someone was intentionally driving like an asshole and nearly caused a crash (tailgating, then overtook, went into a right-turn filter lane and as I was passing again, swerved as if they were going to come back into the lane I was in). A good indication of someone who's got little knowledge or care about how significant the outcomes of their actions can be.

Yeah I think I'm also a bit jaded by my drive earlier where I had two occasions of dick heads driving too fast and dangerously. One in particular who was exceptionally dangerous.
