    In Italy this wouldn’t work: all the assholes with cars speeding along highways are formally indigent, not paying any taxes.

    The fine should be proportional to the value of the car, or to a formula that includes weight an power of the vehicle

      No. It should be tied to a percentage of the person’s wealth value and garnished from any value directed to their estate.

        But that’s very be difficult to implement. You would have to start a financial investigation for every fine, an impossible task.

        On the other side the nominal value of a car could be easily computed via official tables based on model and age. And you can be sure that rich people will drive expensive car, even if they don’t own anything, on paper
