    Depends on how the fines work. Check out Finland day-fine system. It’s a bit complicated, but essentially the gov’t knows how much money you make/what kind of wealth you have, and scales fines according to that. So a person that’s in the lowest 10th percentile may only pay a few dollars for a traffic fine, while someone that’s in the 99th percentile for income/wealth can end up with a speeding ticket that costs over €100,000.
