It would be really nice to see the fines scale up with income, but as long as the tickets are valid for insurance pricing then racking up a couple tickets is still going to cost a lot more than $50 each. It will also make insurance pricing more fair as currently unsafe drivers mostly speed with impunity in cities like sf where traffic enforcement is nonexistent.

They don't typically count as a moving violation, since you have the right to face your accuser in court. As far as I understand the situation.

They are more like parking tickets than a speeding ticket.

I imagine this varies some by state, but I believe it to be a fundamental constitutional issue at play.
