This seems like it's apples to oranges. The people choosing to do these things aren't doing so because they consider it to be a cost of business, expecting that they'll generate more in revenue, but because they think the likelihood of being caught and the gravity of the offense are relatively low. This practice of disregarding regulations because the fines can be factored as a cost is fairly well confined to large corporations.
(I guess someone being paid per mile driven from advertising decals on their car would get a business benefit from the speeding; they may even factor in the probability of being caught with the amount of the fine to determine their speeding decisions. That's nobody I know, though.)
- MassiveQuasar 2y agoTime is money in the end. Speeding reduces time spent on the road and allows more time being spent elsewhere. The analogy still holds, just more abstractly.
- consp 2y agoWhich is the reason why around here your license is void (for a certain time, as in years terms) if you speed too much (plus you can show up for a behavioural course which not only costs quite a bit for people with less money but also takes three days for those who can afford it). And no chauffeur is going to risk that since it will void the means of living. edit: I do not see any reason to not apply "license of cooperation in [state/country]" void in case of continued breaking of laws.
- htrp 2y agoThe trick (at least in the USA) to use an out of state licence which isn't connected to the DMV system of the state you're driving in. Sure you'll get fines, but your licence won't be revoked.
