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.

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

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