Once is enough to have had a serious accident and missed out on many of those years, and you could've taken out a family car, a bus full of people, anything.
You wouldn't be criminally liable if you did though as it would class as non-insane automatism but under this smoking ban if as example already given, a banned sales person did it whilst driving and the scenario happened, I would be worried they may slam a death by reckless driving charge somebody for it.
Better to be safe than think its ok to bend the rules. Same with people speeding.
