Why doesn't this happen over here.

They get counseling for the traumatic experience and set on their merry way to do it again. At least the judge had some of that not so common sense.

I don't think, after driving the wrong way down a motorway - especially for 12km, that you should be able to drive ever again - whatever your age!
