What was this guy doing while the vehicle he was supposed to be controlling ran a red light at more than twice the posted speed limit? The article is lacking on details here.

Also to keep him out of public for other's safety. Seems like him going to jail checks 3/5 at least.

So would revoking the driver's license.

Already failed to do due diligence and ensure system he was using was fully safe. Do you think removal of license would prevent anything? As far as I know not all cars yet have license readers before starting.

Yes, I do.

Removing a negligent driver’s license turns their next speeding ticket or red light camera into driving on a suspended or revoked license, which in some places carries the possibility of jail time.

So how well those DUI laws work? No one is driving under influence right?

So then all crimes should carry the death penalty for maximum deterrence? Or deterrence is impossible and therefore there should be no crimes? What point are you making here?

The ticket for murdering two people didn’t carry jail time. Why would driving without a license?

He didn't murder anyone. Stop trolling.
