    It seems only logical to me that if we have tests for people to earn the right to drive a car, then there should also be a possibility of forfeiting that right again.

    I sort of get the gun argument but it’s not airtight in my opinion. Guns too can be used in harmless ways (shooting as a sport) so by the same logic full rehabilitation would include getting a gun license back.

    And sure not having a car can be a big disadvantage, but so is having a criminal record, and we don’t stop jailing people because of that. Rehabilitation doesn’t mean that all consequences of your crime are undone.

      At least in my country, no one can know about your criminal record, so it’s not a disadvantage. And it shouldn’t be.
