Where did I claim you're more likely to get in a car accident with a billionaire?
There should be a punishment for traffic violations big enough to discourage the offender from repeating it. Since a couple of thousands will not cause such an effect on an ultra rich person, the punishment should be calculated in such a way that it actually does. Calculating it based off of income achieves just that.
- leetcrew 7y agowhat I'm saying is that it just doesn't matter how billionaires drive (on the rare occasion they even drive their own vehicle). billionaires speeding does not meaningfully affect your safety on the road. hitting them with a huge fine just indulges your jealousy.
- dzamie 7y agoY'know, you're right that billionaires speeding doesn't affect people who aren't near those billionaires. To wit, here's an idea for a change: Billionaires should be allowed to speed wherever they are not, because then their speeding won't affect the people there. However, if a billionaire is found to be in the area they're speeding, they get hit with a scaling ticket, because their speeding does affect people around them.
