how about just not ripping off people for doing 37 in a 35?
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class. if it were a percentage of your annual income, completely different story.
Over here if you’re just a bit over they’ll normally put you on a speed awareness course for the first time getting caught.
And I 100% agree on fines being income based. I think some of the Scandinavian countries have done that. I also think there needs to be some kind of catch for the super rich who work the system so they don’t really declare an income. Maybe if your net worth is x times the national average the fine is the greater of either a percentage of your net worth or income.

And how am I supposed to attend a speed awareness course while working over 40 hours a week?
“hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course”
"Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I’ll work your X Saturday. I’ve got to attend a speed awareness course "
Or if you’re to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist. Or just throw a sickie.
It’s hardly rocket science.
My work is not like that. Not all jobs do sick days. If I miss a day I delay a project and have to kill myself getting it back on track.
