Drugs, drugs and more drugs.
Time to lock up all druggies, the country will always

What is the point of a driving ban? How is it enforced? One relies on the integrity or self regulation of the banned driver , not to drive. Clearly that does not work.
Those with respect for the law would not drive but these people don’t have that.
Tag the lot of them.
Why are these sad oxygen thieves who drink / drug drive not given lifetime ban and have their cars taken away and destroyed.
