Also, governments have started to deem impaired driving as an administrative offence, it would appear this is a modernization of inneffective laws/court systems.

At the end of the day it is not a hard decision to not drink and drive. It’s a completely selfish and dangerous decision.
There are several instances where the court demands a quick turn around time. Child protection cases, bail hearings to name two. Set up a DUI court and mandate a speedy trial.

That's a better option than giving police the unchecked ability to revoke someone's license and potentially harm their livelihood.
