Ok, so here is the diplomatic Swede interfering in the affairs of others: why not combine the two? Pay a progressive fine or wait by the roadside.

- kranner 7y agoI have a feeling that a certain class of rich person would be much more bothered by being made to wait than just paying a large fine.
- Hamuko 7y agoDoes that matter? There's also a certain class of rich person that would not want to pay 50,000 euros for speeding.
- filoeleven 7y agoThey’re probably correlated with the highest incomes, so the result of them choosing to pay is a lot of extra revenue for the police (or whoever the fines go to). This could be seen as an advantage.
- rapind 7y agoIt's ridiculousness to me that fine revenue ends up in city / police coffers. Talk about a conflict of interest.
- Semiapies 7y agoThat's literally what's described in the article.
- mortehu 7y agoAre you sure? This is a quote from the article: "monetary fines are not adjusted according to income, as in neighbouring Finland"
