Ridiculous thing to suggest. People make mistakes and have accidents in the workplace all the time. It's more important learning from them than punishing people at every opportunity. We've already got an industry that is struggling to recruit, without adding an extra fear factor into it.
Plus if you're asking drivers to risk assess on a black or white basis, as they'd have to with your "policy", then drivers would correctly refuse to undertake any part of a route that has a higher than normal risk factor, e.g. with badly parked cars, busy streets (where pedestrians could step in front of them), or the slightest adverse conditions.
