Could you explain please?
If this was my kid he wouldn't be driving again until he could buy his own car and insurance and room and board.

Up here you get good points and bad points on your licence. You can accumulate up to 15 good points and get 33% off your vehicle insurance premiums (we have one insurance company here, government run) or you can collect bad points for driving badly. If you do so you get bad points on your licence and they charge you a surcharge on your licence. Every year you have a clean driving record the bad points are cut in half and you pay less.
This way the bad drivers pay.
