I was thinking about this today, I don't think losing your license is much of a deterent. People adapt and get along just fine without driving, you save money on gas and insurance plus get more exercise from walking. It's not really a big deal.
I've known people who lost their license for a year. It is a pretty big deal. Yeah, they adapt, but it is never easy.

However, every so often you hear about people who get busted even though they don't have a license. Sometime multiple times. So they lose their license, it doesn't stop them. An while I would love to throw them in jail and throw away the key, that is expensive and I don't want to pay for that, or have a murderer or rapist released to make space. I'm not sure the best way to keep them out of a car.
