I'd like to see this punishment used more often. We tend to forget that a driver's license is a privilege, a special treat that the state graciously gives to citizens.

All you need is a pulse and 26 forms of ID to get a license here. We see stuff like this every weekend down here. You can even text while driving. There's no law against it. I see that almost every day.
