You already have the problem that small fines aren't much of a deterrent effect on wealthy people. Though one might be surprised how butthurt well to do people can be over trivial amounts of money.

A mitigating thing is monthly SS insurance benefits max out.

Speed until you max out your social security benefit is a crazy incentive.
You can also max out the points on your license and your insurance companies patience.
That happens either way, the discussion is about having an effective fine to discourage people and crediting the person's social security account clearly doesn't do that.
