So you favor jail time for speeders. I believe in the current system of fines and reporting to insurance companies as a deterent. It most certainly provides an incentive for drivers to follow driving regulations.
Traffic tickets are nothing more than revenue enhancement.It has nothing to do with public safety
More like a user payer system. Budgets in each county and city project an amount that they may expect to get from traffic fines. This amount offsets other amounts that would otherwise come from the general fund. Those ticketed drivers who are responsible for the need for traffic patrols are paying a portion of the price. It's fair.
