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.
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.

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

Maybe it’s a UK thing but made sense to me and I understood it fully from context.
