vehicles were taken off the streets in an operation targeting nuisance driving

I mean I guess antisocial could mean nuisance. It’s still a rather strange term to use in a headline but I’ll consider it a regional difference in language.

I agree that it's an interesting choice of word, but I think it fits the bill.

A web search definition screen for the word "antisocial", with relevant entries highlighted.

Antisocial means being hostile to society, not just being uncomfortable with socializing. Many people assume antisocial means being shy or introverted because the it's a reasonable conclusion from the two parts of the word, but it really means hostile to others. Especially in a medical context where Antisocial personality disorder is the proper title for Sociopathy.
