As much as I understand that sentiment. I don't think license restrictions are a very good idea, except in really egregious cases. It would be nice to see in really extreme cases where pedestrians / bikers are disregarded in a really callous manor, but unfortunately I'm not sure the police see many clearcut cases of this.
Taking away licenses is not a clean and easy thing in the US, because you basically make someone the ward of someone else, or an outlaw. People can't get by without vehicles, and much of the time they just have to risk it. Best case scenario someone else has to babysit them.
I definitely agree we need to make it easier for people to get by without their cars. I just can't stomach making people second class citizens, which is what these laws do. I'm only in favor of them in really egregious, repeat violation situations. Like people that refuse to stop drinking and driving; the ones that just keep doing it over and over. Even then, I'm willing to talk about options in the grand scheme of things like ignition interlock systems (actually not even available to many repeat offenders in my state)
