Should scale exponentially, too
Scale fines exponentially by the size of the vehicle (ie the chance of causing death). If you drive a Deathtruck 1500 you know the risks you are taking with everyone else’s lives - if you don’t drive with appropriate caution, massive fines.
ALL FINES! All fines should scale with wealth. AND... jail sentences be equal!
They should also scale with ground clearance. The higher your vehicle is off the road, the higher your fine should be.
Can BMWs be driven behind other vehicles without tailgating?
now do corporate fines!!
For a serious traffic offense, the fine should include the confiscation of the vehicle. Regardless if the driver is the owner.
It makes sense that fines intended to be punitive should scale, as opposed to restitution-type fines.
