They don’t though. The people who can afford a traffic lawyer or know how the system works just get them dismissed. It’s just another tax on those with the least resources.

Nobody is forcing people to drive over the speed limit. It’s a fine, not a tax.

Depends on the country.

X percent fee based on monthly income is a good one

  And in the UK (where Yorkshire is) we have a points system. If you build up 12 points you lose your license, and speeding can get you between 3-6 points per offence depending how serious it was. So it’s really not just a case of the rich speeding all the time, paying the fines and carrying on.
