Ok, so here is the diplomatic Swede interfering in the affairs of others: why not combine the two? Pay a progressive fine or wait by the roadside.

I have a feeling that a certain class of rich person would be much more bothered by being made to wait than just paying a large fine.

They’re probably correlated with the highest incomes, so the result of them choosing to pay is a lot of extra revenue for the police (or whoever the fines go to). This could be seen as an advantage.

It's ridiculousness to me that fine revenue ends up in city / police coffers. Talk about a conflict of interest.

[Hamuko]

Does that matter? There's also a certain class of rich person that would not want to pay 50,000 euros for speeding.

[kranner]

So BOTH a progressive fine and an imposed wait should work for everyone then.

[jacobush]

I like it!

That's literally what's described in the article.

Are you sure? This is a quote from the article: "monetary fines are not adjusted according to income, as in neighbouring Finland"
