From previous threads, it seems that our legal system is willing to drop the demerit points if you challenge a ticket, but you still usually get fined. Simply need to change that: Conviction = demerits. No loopholes.
I also think driving without a licence should be a felony offense. Some time in jail would deter the rich buisnessman who lost his licence for 15 points, but kept on driving during that 30 day ban.
Speaking of demerit points, I love Manitoba's list from the site Cowperson linked to. Seems to me that if you are charged with impaired driving causing death, or vehicular manslaughter, the 15 demerit points that gets you will be the least of your worries.
