If they have that much disregard for the law, do you think losing their license will keep them off the road? Doubtful.

Then put them in jail for driving without a license.

Is it that simple, though? Taking someone who's already crime-prone then sending them off to graduate school for criminals rarely leaves society with a better person when they get out.

I'm not saying, at all, that we should let them run amok. But at the same time, the US has a ridiculous incarceration rate as it is, and it's not like we've created a utopia by doing that.
