I do not think that would happen, because the evidence suggests that
the bad drivers tend to think they are the elite, and when they start
getting hit by the "get bad drivers off the roads" campaign we will
have the usual self-serving shite about why are they being banned,
when all they were doing was exercising their manifestly superior
skills in their manifestly superior car.
I may be being cynical,of course, but I suspect that the ABD will be
out in force as soon as their members start getting banned. As far as
they (and most drivers) are concerned, fatalities are a problem of bad
driving, and bad driving is exhibited only by other drivers. After
all, if what they were doing was dangerous, they'd stop doing it,
wouldn't they?
