"Many more car drivers" doing what, exactly? Driving at night without lights? You have to be joking - as the PP correctly said, that is a rare sight indeed.
I can remember once "supervising" a learner driver friend in Maida Vale, London - and glancing at the lit-up panel lights as I got into the pbuttenger seat, deciding that the sidelights were "on" (this was in the days when driving on headlights in built-up London was frowned on). Off we went. A little way down the brightly-lit Edgware Road, a Met Police officer flashed us and stopped us - and gesticulated: "no lights". The panel lights I'd noticed were all connected with the turned-down-to-nil-volume car radio (which was a rarely-encountered luxury in a car as far as I was concerned). The driver switched on the lights, listened to my advice that one should use headlights when moving at night (for more than one reason) and off we went. Quite a difference from deliberately using a vehicle not even fitted with lights, as I'm sure you will readily agree.
It's a good job that driving a car at night without lights is such a rare occurrence, then - isn't it? *
I know where I'd rather see some effective enforcement action directed - and it would not be towards the clbuttes of road-user who are rarely seen at night on the road without lights. What would be the point?
