Shakran's still got it
If one is unable to safely drive on a road with other people, then it is perfectly reasonable to revoke, or limit, their ability to do so. This is because, as has been said many times, a vehicle can become a deadly weapon if used improperly. Because of this, I would like to draw a similarity between the laws surrounding gun use and ownership, with the terms and requirements of vehicle ownership, dk.

If you lack the ability to safely operate a car, then you should not be allowed to for the sake of others. I'm sure you wouldn't want some guy who honestly couldn't handle a gun shooting every which way on a firing range. There must be some limitations when others' safety is at risk.
