The problem with fines and fees is that it puts a price on things, which is why those electric signs work so much better than speeding cameras.

Sure, a $100, $200, or more ticket is expensive and a lot of money to some people it allows the people who can afford it to easily rationalize the behavior.

"It's only $200 bucks it's clearly not that big of an issue, if it was a real danger it would be more expensive"

However the speed blinkers let you know you're doing something wrong and these condition you to feel guilty therefore slowing down.

Most people don't worry about the speeding ticket cost, but the increased insurance premium that goes with it.

Agreed, insurance premium hikes are big compared to the fine. It's usually cheaper to hire a lawyer...though that also costs more than the fine.
