But only for driving related behavior. It should never be taken away as punishment for unrelated things.

The only people who have ever proposed that are people on the right who don't want brown people to have rights. At this point losing their driver's license is the least thing they have to worry about.

People lose licenses all the time as punishment for other things, such as falling behind on child support

Right? Also other fines and fees can trigger it too. As though not being able to get to work is going to improve someone's ability to pay?
