I suppose that could be an effective punishment.

A monetary fine may mean little to a benefits scammer, and prison is obviously a silly punishment, particularly when prisons are in the shambolic and overcrowded state they’re in now.

When you drive, it’s a big part of your life (or maybe that’s just my perspective, living in rural Northumberland where my “public transport” is a twice-weekly shuttle-bus to Hexham), the threat of that being taken away would be a pretty huge deterrent in my view.
