To me, “fine” means “legal if you are rich enough”; I’d be for a system that if you get more than X speeding fines within a period, your license becomes provisional, and you have to resit the full license test within 6 months or loose it entirely. Maybe required people to have a “P” plate in the window while their license is provisional as a bit of social pressure as well.
Pretty much you’ve shown you aren’t familiar with the requirements to operate a vehicle on public roads, and need a reminder
I guess technically we do have system kind of like that, maybe not as strict. Every speeding offence gets demerit points, and I believe if you get 100 in a two year period you get a suspended license for three months. But I did just read that you don’t get demerits for speed camera offences, I’m not sure why that is.

In europe some countries base their fines on your income. That seems like a fair system. Everybody should be equally hurt. Check this out

Because they don’t know who was driving.
If you’re pulled over, you have to present your ID, which is recorded on the ticket, a camera ticket just goes to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Ah yeah, that makes sense. I didn’t really think about it enough.
