So the boy Cameron thinks we should hit young offenders where it hurts by - wait for it - taking away their driving licences!
Yeah! That'll really work, Dave!
Except, of course, that many offenders don't bother with trivialities like passing a test, getting insurance, MOT, tax and that sort of thing. The reason they don't is for the same reason crime is so out of hand - the punishment is not sufficient enough to act as a deterrent.
When you're 21 and insurance for a little hatchback is running into several hundred pounds while a fine for being caught driving without insurance may be considerably less - why bother with insurance? Especially when you have to renew your insurance every year, but if you are careful you can avoid being caught driving without a licence or insurance for a lot longer.
If you really want to hit them where it hurts, force them to wear cheap bargain shop trainers.

It seems that politicians are acting rather stupid lately. The Lib Dems are even considering raising the tax on 4x4 from £300 to £2000. Not very liberal is it?
