For wilfully committed offences, especially drunk driving, punishment
can be effective and appropriate.

But where "bad" driving is due to the poor standards accepted by the
driving test, it is less clear that punishment is effective, since
presumably the driver does not understand what he is doing wrong.  (Or
does not understand *why* it is wrong.)  In such cases perhaps
compulsory attendence at driving school would be a better approach -
this is done in some states of America.
