>in the UK people don't get their driving licence taken away that often

In England and Wales, a drink-driving offence would attract a minimum of a 12 month disqualification unless there are very compelling mitigating factors. On a second offence (or a serious first offence), you would usually have to undergo a medical examination and re-take your driving test to get your license back.

Illegally? It sounds like a judge has decided to leave them with a license despite having 12 points. That seems the definition of legally to me.
