Even the rich can get their licenses yanked if they do it too often here in the US. Besides, don't we have some kind of law about cruel and unusual punishment?

sure you can yank their licences, but what do you get for driving without a licence?

I wonder if it has some kind of lower limit - otherwise it would make the poor too poor to have to worry about the laws - a speeding ticket might be 50p if you were on benefits.

Still, its an interesting approach to the problem of making sure that fines actually keep speeds down, and roads safer

I can't wait till we're forced to go to that to pay down the deficit.

Hmm, not sure on that one. I've spent most of the last 3 years hanging on to mine by the skin of my teeth, but have yet to actually lose it.
