The good thing about prolonged driving bans are that they help prevent
recidivism and that they don't cost the tax payer.

Except that banned drivers often continue to drive, repeatedly catching
them and putting them through the courts costs money, supervising their
community service costs money ...-

The error here is that they shouldn't be caught repeatedly. After
killing someone, they should be monitored carefully eg by tagging,
signing in at police stations every day etc.

Are we still talking about drivers who kill? I was just commenting on
how ineffective driving bans can be. I agree with the idea of penal
colonies though. :-)

Yeaahhh, this bloke already sounds a bit Australian:-

Simon Spence, prosecuting, said Morphey told police the alcohol he had
consumed would have had "very little effect on his driving and would
not really dull his reaction times". [after nearly 8 pints of lager]

Is there a companion group to SafeSpeed called SafeDrunk, that could
argue in support of this motorist?


Apologies to any Australians listening, it was only a goak, honest.
