Withholding licences may not be wise

ALTHOUGH withholding licences of traffic offenders for 14 days could help change Malaysian drivers' attitude, many factors have to be taken into consideration if it were to be implemented,“14-day loss of licences for errant drivers,” (The Star, Sept 22).  

First of all, withholding their licences would make life miserable for these drivers. Imagine the adjustments they would have to make like how to go to work, send and fetch their children, go shopping and settle bills.
