minus-squarebinarytobis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·2 months agoI feel like at some point those should start getting points against your license or something.
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·2 months agoAbsolutely! 19 in 4 years is crazy. I’ve gotten 2 in 23 years, running a yellow light and not realizing the speed limit changes at night in Texas. Both of those fines were way more than $50. New York is dumb.
minus-squareMadzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoSeriously, Ive gotten one ticket in 20 years. One.
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoAlright there might be a little bit of capitalism at play. Fines so low they encourage people to just pay them. Too steep and people will either avoid the infraction or dodge paying altogether. So this is literally a rich people get to be assholes fee.
minus-squareMadzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoWhere is it, Finland, that has fines as a percentage of income? I think it’s a great policy
minus-square🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoYep! They gave one guy a €100,000 ticket for speeding, lol.
