Following through to the associated BBC article, the language used there is “disqualified”, which, as I understand, is a license suspension. It’s often useful to drill down further to get closer to the actual source in cases like this to avoid reading too much into language that may be imprecise or used with journalistic license. In this case, I don’t know what technically it would mean to be “banned from the highway” other than to have one’s license suspended or revoked.
