No, but $100+ to a poor person could be the difference between literal life and death.
Sure, but nobody is compelling someone to break traffic laws. Someone who can’t afford a fine will probably drive way more cautiously.
But very few poor people can even afford a car these days, so this doesn’t seem like a real concern.
The solution to this is sliding scale fines. The better off you are the more you get fined.
I do agree with that. And more than that, the consequences should include lost time. Imagine some rich asshole who has to do 40 hours of community service. They’d look like a total ass in front of their boss or employees.
