Default Most banned driver with 200 convictions - still driving

See what | mean about privileged motorists?

"He has already knocked down a cyclist.

You would have thought he would have gone to prison, wouldn’t you? How
many convictions would that take?"

These are merely the first few of 278,000 hits on google.co.uk for the
search term "banned driver jailed"

Are you suggesting that 278000 dtivers have been jailed?

As a Pedant I'm surprised at you

I tried an Uk search 58000, added a not and got 52000

I thought a UK search better as its considered OFF Topic when Dougmentions
anything outside our little Island

Indeed. The wind was caused by the point he missed passing at high speed.

How would driving bans work in an anarchy, Doug? Who would decide who
can and cannot drive? Who would be in charge of enforcing the rules?
Who would be in charge of catching and punishing those who broke the
rules?
