Driver licenses are revoked for many reasons, not all of which have anything to do with driving. Never made sense to me to pull the license for someone who isn't paying child support because they're unemployed. That will certainly help them find a job.
To me, a license should be pulled if you are convicted of driving while under the influence whether alcohol, an illegal drug or a legal drug. Do your rehab and get a limited license (work, school, etc.) for six months with a mandatory weekly drug test. If you stay clean, then full driving privileges. Second offense, one year limited license . Third offense, book em Danno.
Other offenses, have the driver pay fines, weekends in jail, community service but don't yank the one thing they need to basically survive. So, guess I'm on the same page as you except for substance abuse issues.
