In my homecountry someone gets hundreds of speeding tickets per year, always on the same road. Doesn't care.
With a properly scaling fine they'll stop doing that quickly or lose out on more than just a little yacht.
I'd say it's a pretty decent step, especially when combined with confiscation of the vehicle if it's a repeat offender or a severe case. As you said it may not be perfect...but I'd rather see that than some careless people risking lives of others just because a speeding ticket is small change for them.

- alpaca128 6y agoWell so what, then they'll drive without a license. As long as the punishment isn't sufficient to make the person care enough you will only nudge the threshold a bit under which people actually feel it. Edit: Same with using the phone while driving. It's one of the biggest contributing factors to road accidents, yet here the fine for doing it is barely above the price for a decent headset. So most just don't care and trust the fact that well under 1% will ever be caught because the police either doesn't care either or just doesn't have the manpower to effectively enforce it.
