> As in you lose your license on your second DUI or third at-fault collision,

Sorry, but this is still too lenient.

People should immediately lose their driving licence with a substantial fine for being caught drink-driving—even if it's just the first time, and be permanently barred from ever getting one again. If their driving under influence causes the slightest injury to other people they should receive a substantial jail sentence, and should their driving cause death they ought to receive at least a first-degree manslaughter charge. I know this will sound appalling to Americans, but driving is a privilege, not a right.

If pilots have so much stricter rules about operating their machinery, so should road users.
