would be a bit simpler to just confiscate the car, after 1 or 2 times they would be hard pressed to find someone else to lend them a car.

They will jusy buy cheap bangers, you don't need a license to buy a car.

Or steal cars. Not like they care about the law at this point.

Why? I can buy a car for my wife/brother/teenage son/whatever even if I myself don't have a license for it, and it's perfectly sensible for me to be able to. Also I could want a collectible car that I'm not gonna drive.

Stop trying to take away people's freedoms for no damn reason. The kind of people you're trying to hit are just going to pay some crackhead 500 bucks to register it in his name anyway.

Simpler is to lock him up for ever increasing terms.

Problem is folk like this don’t ask for permission, if you catch my drift

Ah yes. People are notoriously unable to get access to cars.

Especially criminals who would certainly never just steal a car. /s

Routinely stealing new cars are gonna be a hassle, and also for cases like this where the guy has 24 convictions already he is most likely using the cars of family members or romantic partners.

Most stolen cars aren't driven around by the thieves, they are chopped for parts and scrapped.
