Default Drink and reckless drivers in Thailand sent to work in the morgue

What do you think of this idea for Australia? I think some offenders here are already forced to go the hospital to talk to people who have been in car accidents, but the morgue might be quite a deterrent.

DRUNK AND RECKLESS DRIVERS SENT TO WORK IN MORGUES
With thousands on the roads during the festivities, many of the deaths and injuries are caused by drunk and reckless drivers, so authorities have decided to go gory. Yesterday they announced that traffic offenders will by sent to work in hospital morgues to see the results of their irresponsible acts.

Casual attitudes toward road safety give Thailand the second worst record in the world for traffic fatalities, with health and safety experts fearing things are just getting worse.

“Traffic offenders who are found guilty by courts will be sent to do public service work at morgues in hospitals,” Police Colonel Kriangdej Jantarawong said.

“It is a strategy used to make traffic offenders afraid of driving recklessly and driving while they are drunk because they could end up in the same condition. It is aimed to be a deterrent, a way to discourage people.”
