The wording of the statutes allows the commissioner a lot of wiggle room. He/she declared Constans' driving inimical to public safety on the basis of only one ticket and a bunch of warnings. He/she could probably do it to someone for putting their dog on their lap, doing a wheelie within the speed limit, or whacking off while driving, even though there may not be specific statutes prohibiting those practices. The catch-all "inimical to public safety" covers a lot of ground.
