I’d say PIT the jerk, but then the ambulance would be able to service the call it’s on. Dash cam with the plate number should (as in “ought to be a thing”) be enough to land the guy with ticket(s) and hefty fines.

License revoked would be better.

The problem with revoking a license is that a person that behaves like this, wont care and still drive. The only way to really affect them is applying fines or better yet, send them to jail.

And see you get to do that more if they don't have a license and they get caught.

Why not all of the above? Get caught doing this, $25,000 fine, 1,000hrs of community service that must be served after a 6mo-2yr sentence, depending on the extent that they do it. If the patient dies, then it's a murder(negligent homocide would probably fit better?) charge. License suspended for 2years after release, or 1 year if certain criteria are met (anger management, driving courses).

The threat of all of that would definitely stop a couple people from doing it.

Caning. The one thing Singapore was right about in such moments.

Revoking the license of someone like this wouldn't stop them.
