He's not punished "more", he's punished equitably. No he's not; you simply can't punish people equitably by financial means. License penalty points, bans, sure

He's not punished "more", he's punished equitably. No he's not; you simply can't punish people equitably by financial means. License penalty points, bans, sure, but you just can't equate fines against differing incomes when not all costs and opportunities are relative to income. I don't agree the ultimate goal is to prevent reoffending either, it's surely to prevent offending, which it failed to do in this case amongst many others.
