How do you persuade “everyone” when the primary deterrent is a fixed fine that doesn’t scale relative to lifestyle?

- cs02rm0 8y agoSo now we're not looking at fines in relation to income but lifestyle? I just think you cannot scale fines in relation to income/lifestyle/anything else financially. You can scale it, but you can't hit people with different incomes, assets, etc. in the same fashion, which ultimately smells of a bad system to me.
- arethuza 8y agoSo what would you recommend?
- cs02rm0 8y agoAnything else. The points system seems sufficent to me for most driving offences, beyond costs. But community service, prison time, curfews, anything which is equivalent and not open to manipulation.
- arethuza 8y agoI wonder of all of the options what the speeder would have chosen - I suspect he would pay the money and move on.
