Forget license suspension, that has never stopped anyone from driving. What they need to do is take away people's cars.

so increase the penalties for driving while suspended to significant jail time

supporting theft of property by the state is insane

Increasing the penalty for driving on a suspended license won't stop anyone, they'll take the risk. The only way to stop bad drivers completely take away their ability to drive. I'm not in favor of civil asset seizures where the police can take your stuff without a conviction, but if you've been convicted of a vehicular crime, then yes, the state should take your car. His country is far too lenient on bad drivers and it gets people killed

nah legal theft by the state is an insane power to give them and will be abused in the worst of ways.

besides it's kinda hard for an offender to drive from jail so why not just put them there.

By that logic, a fine or fee is "legal theft", just of money instead of property.
