No, I like speeding
Why not make all goods and services a % of income. Like a can of pop is .1% of income, beer is 5%, etc etc
Sweden does this. i don't know about finland.
I guess the “no” reasoning is the same; you don’t want to disincentivize people from becoming rich
So basically, if I made no income, I could commit any crime I want and not be punished, right?
sure, i dont even drive
people already do that naturally, look at the difference between shopping regularly at grocery outlet, foodmax, safeway, raleiy's, nobhill and whole foods. In that order.
Yes, I have no monthly income so speeding is free!
>become a live in servant that gets paid nothing just provided everything.
>drive some rich SOB around as his chauffeur and 120mph since his time is worth more.
>NEETDOM!
Why is a billionaire speeding a 10 million dollar fine but a unemployed neet $1?
It's implemented here too, NHL player Rasmus Ristolainen got speeding ticket of 120680€ last year.
Because that's buying a product and not punishing someone to dissuade an undesirable behaviour.
though i guess it is easier to asses these fines in finland since income/tax is available for everyone to see.
Choosing to buy low quality vs high quality shit or shop for sales vs convenience is not the same as a mandated x% of income to "equalize" people.
Why is this the Ameritards, erroneous, knee jerk reaction?
That is actually based, why should the rich not pay a fine adjusted to income so its fair?
Because it finds a flaw in the base structure of something if it isn't elaborated upon with a minimum floor.
because some fines are more so about control than safety?
>thinks fines are a punishment to dissuade an undesirable behavior
You do realize they are to make money for the local governments right? If they really were to make people stop breaking the law it would be mandatory jail time and steep penalties. A couple hundred dollar speeding ticket is enough to make you get pissed but just pay it, but not enough to make you permanently change your behavior. It's a revenue stream for governments that is calculated into their budget. And if they are low one month, they go out in force to make up for it
Because those prices are related to the cost of supply, whereas punsihments for speeding are arbitrary.
The unemployed would probably be penalized in other ways
>but not enough to make you permanently change your behavior.
If there were no speed cameras you think Americans would stick to the speed limit? lol
Speed cameras actually help a bit but they piss people off like nothing else
Where I live the minimum moving violation fine is $250. A minimum wage nigger paying $250 will seriously hurt him financially, meanwhile I’d be more pissed that I had to show up court to pay rather than mad about the amount.
But we can’t discuss traffic laws without talking about niggers. The penalties get higher because niggers don’t bother paying.
Yes you have to control your speed when driving, rich or not
They would be too antisemitic
You earn more, you pay higher tax just by percentage. Why should you be punished for being successful?
>If they really were to make people stop breaking the law it would be mandatory jail time and steep penalties.
Idiot. Obviously if they really wanted to dissuade people they would impose death penalty and nothing less.
Yeah, considering how popular identity theft is in the US, I don't see this going too well. And besides what you gonna fine a broke ass nigger who has no income?
Absolutely.
Stop speeding. And set a minimum floor. Also stop sucking rich people cocks. It won't make you rich by proxie.
You are punished for speeding not for being succesful, if you are not speeding you wont get a ticked
No because it misses why traffic laws exist. They're fines for the damage you're doing to the town, not a punishment for speeding. If I go 20 over in a school zone, or a billionaire goes 20 over in a school zone, we're both causing the same damage; the safe area now has an unsafe vehicle moving through it. Same damage caused, same restitution.
No way.
It would mean illegals and nigger drug dealers with no official income would have free reign.
>doesn't include info that drivers of expensive or sports cars are unjustly pulled over more due to police bias for higher payout in said country
Imagine my shock.
If you had that system then the state would have to pay niggers whenever they speed with their stolen car because they have to pay over 100% of their income as child support if they ever make the mistake of working
Yes actually. People tend to ignore speed limits now and instead drive the maximum safe speed on a road. If there are sharp turns, or frequent stop signs, you're really not going to go faster than 45ish anyways, because by the time you get up to speed you're going to have to slow down again. Not coincidentally, a lot of roads have speed limits of 35-45. And any time a road has a speed limit that is too slow, people just ignore it:

But being a cryptocommie will certainly make you poor for real, not even by proxy.
Almost all speeding tickets in Finland are sent due to automated speeding cameras.
No? Then the welfare monkeys will all get off scott free for not having an income
I’ve been on highways in America with a speed limit of 60 MPH. It should be 85 MPH on the highway
I imagine laws like this would come with penalties if you can’t or won’t pay. This also means more vagrants on public transport
