I was just thinking about consequences for driving infractions the other day.
Fines don’t really work, unless they target poor people, since any amount of money hurts their QOL.
A rich asshole doesn’t care if they are fined $100, $1000, or $110,000, because it doesn’t impact their lifestyle.
What we need to do is punish rich drivers with time. Force them to do volunteer work and community service, in addition to a fine (to pay back the municipality for enforcing these laws).
A few months or years of community service hurts the rich more than a fine (of any amount) ever could.
