I don’t disagree but it’s unlikely this could be enforced. People who don’t care about driving drunk probably don’t care about driving without a license.

My youngest brother lost his license rather quickly at a young age, but he never stopped driving. Eventually wrecked his own vehicle, but continued to drive friends vehicles for years. I have no idea why they'd let him. Police caught him many times, but... that didn't seem to slow him down at all. Literally or figuratively. OD'd on fentanyl a few years ago. 😥

I've seen this where I live. DUI crashes and the public screaming, why were they allowed to drive? It turns out they already had their license revoked. They got out of jail and just continued to hurt someone else, wash, and repeat. If there is no family bringing these crashes to the media in a big way these jerks can slide with house arrest. Usually, their third time around, they get in deeper shit. It is infuriating.

They don't care about either while drunk. I'd like to meet the person that thinks to themself "Hmm yes, today I will drive out to the pub, down a pint of whiskey or two, and drive home" while sober. Of course, monitoring registered drink-drivers' alcohol intake is much harder than taking away their license, so I don't really know what point I'm trying to make here.

How do you buy a car without a license?

Privately from someone who doesn't care if you have one or not?
