A fifth of those on a DVLA "high-risk register" have been on it before.

There are currently 230,149 banned drivers on the DVLA's scheme and of these, 42,207 drivers had been on it before.

Doesn't greatly surprise me. There are two basic sorts of drink drive offenders, those who have sailed close to the limit and miscalculated, ie morning afters, or those who thought they were safe on two drinks and turned not to be, and those who are habitual drunks.

The former type mend their ways and most of the drunks don't.
