    Speeding and drink driving play a big part in traffic deaths and also the cost of fixing all the people who do survive is totally preventable so I am all for it. Progressive fines sound very fair too, misbehaving companies in some cases also pay a percentage of their profit so why not citizens as well.

      My wealthy ex’s family would just pay the tickets, so he never learned.

      I’d beg him not to go 40 in school zones.

        Don’t you get deducted points for speeding? Like after a while wouldn’t he lose his license, regardless of how much he pays?

        Could be that their wealth caused them not to care about fines, if they had to pay 5% of that wealth every time they would definity take it easy in school zones.
