New Yes, CA has that too
and I presume - most other states by now (?)

It's heavily weighted for drunk, reckless etc. as is proper. But usual secondary effects (here) re 'speeding' occur on insurance renewal. Again.. none of these costs matter to the plutocrat.

But as said above - yes! losing driving provilege is the one adjustment across all classes.

Personally I like the UK "L" plate for learner; warns everyone that you ain't ept yet. Possibly - just short of licens(c)e suspension - we might contemplate a "D" plate [Dangerous]: warns everyone that you have the attention span of a 2-year old and are just as apt to throw a temper tantrum. Social pressures might work even on the Super-Ego class (?)

Imagine if you had to learn to be polite.. to get the D removed?

New mind your L's and P's
Aye, we too have L plates whilst you're learning, and once you pass your driving test you get you red P (for Provisional) plates, which you're on for a year.

Provided you've not done anything silly enough to lose them, you then move on to green P plates which you have for another two years or so, before you finally become plateless.

So it's handy in so far as knowing whose way to keep out of. Of course, at times it could be handy if there were 'Pensioner' plates as well :) But just keep out of the way of Toyota Crowns and everything is usually OK.

On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
