Ok, let's use drunk driving as an example.
If you drive drunk and are caught, you can lose your license, which technically, means you can never drive yourself again.

I haven't audited all 50 states, but at least in all the states I've lived in, there is no way to permanently lose your license from any number of DUIs. The license suspensions (and jail time) go up for each DUI someone gets, but they're always able to get their license back at some point.
