Some of the worse driving is done by operators of high end luxury cars (Audi, BMW, Mercedes).

A $200.00 speeding fine is chump change for them but a week’s grocery money for the rest of us.

Some of the worst physical assaults, robberies, and thefts are committed by poor people. A month sitting in county jail is a vacation for them, and has no detrimental effect on their standing in the "community," but can threaten the economic existence and social standing of the rest of us.

Hence: Longer jail sentences for poor people!

In LA county the fine can be $20 for using your cell phone but after extra fees are added it will be $250
I imagine the $200 ticket could be $2,000

Finland has this.

One guy got a $103,000 speeding ticket.

Amen to that, brother, amen. I almost hate seeing one of these b@$t@rds on the road with me. You can generally predict their behavior. They drive like they're very important people, with somewhere very important to get to in a hurry, and you peasants better not get in my way.

Funny... the vast majority of horrible drivers don’t drive such vehicles.

But I guess that wouldn’t fit with your ‘evil rich drivers’ mindset
