This argument is often cited in gun control debate. “Criminals will just buy guns illegally and law abiding citizens will be left defenceless”.

That doesn't mean I support this kind of logging for private vehicles (it really feels like the government overstepping the safety/freedom boundary), but it did have very positive effects on heavy road transport safety.
