Revoking the license is one thing, keeping them from driving is another.
A few years back a 7-11 worker stole my dad credit card number and made a bunch of 900 # calls. The police caught the guy and found that not only had he been caught before but the phone company put him on a list prohibiting him from ever having phone service again. But the phone company allowed this guy's 4 year old son to get phone service.... (same address too)
Another story. My wife's old uncle lost his license. So he drove his lawn tractor to the local tavern. On his way home he totaled the lawn tractor when he ran out of gas and lost control as he tried to coast down to the bottom of the hill.
Point is a special tag or not, they'll get some wheels anyway.

That's why the jail term for folks who drive after getting their license revoked for DUI. A few folks serve 5 years, and the word will get out.
Personally, I'd like to see the second DUI conviction be a felony, with serious prison time, but that's never going to fly.
Driving while intoxicated is a choice, and any deaths that result from accidents should be treated as homicides, in my opinion.
I have no sympathy for drunk drivers whatever.
