It's not like speeding tickets are inevitable. I've been driving for over 17 years and I've never been pulled over once (knock on wood). But sure, I don't mind proportional speeding tickets (I never get them), but I think it's a slippery slope of socialism where you start thinking everything should have proportional costs. Why should rich and poor both pay $3 for a gallon milk? Shouldn't the rich pay $30 for a gallon of milk? Heck, they are so out of touch with food costs anyway they probably wouldn't notice.[1]

- luckycharms810 7y agoPeople make mistakes and exhibit wreckless behavior every once in a while. Unlike milk, the value of a ticket is not set by markets. It is a financial instrument used to discourage behavior. It's really not too dissimilar to a tax. We already have all kinds of progressive taxes - this really isn't much different.
