Bans for life have been proved not to work. They used to be a thing but now are very rare. I would presume that it was government who decided that life ban was not a practical sentence as those who received it continued drive whilst banned. Setting a time scale allows banned drivers a ‘goal’ to get their licence back whether it is one year, five years or fifteen years.
I do appreciate that some people will drive whilst banned whatever the tariff.
Apologies if this reads badly, I am shattered.
