    @TDCN @Showroom7561 Personally, I think banning.someone from driving hurts them harder than loosing a vehicle, as one can’t just get a new driving license - the loophole that allowed one to just make a new license in another EU member state has been closed for those barred from (re)issue of a license.

        @TDCN that’s quite low.

        People speeding 100% over limit usually get barred for life from attaining any permit unless they get medically certified to be able to drive.

        And even then they’d likely not face charges for speeding alone but literally charges for attempted homicide by gross neglect and recklessness.

        I mean if one’s driving like 100km/h on regular city roads they don’t just loose their license but face serious jailtime.

        And I think that’s more than justified.

          I said “or more” because I don’t know the details. Depending on what you did you can get banned for much longer or even face jail time if it’s very severe. It’s individual and depends on the offence
