This is completely WRONG.
Driving is a privalege NOT a right.
So... the "income based fine" is just another way for the nanny state to take something that doesn't belong to them.
The CORRECT course of action is to fine the person the normal fine that everyone else pays and because he's a repeat offender then you take away his license. That is the ONLY legitimate and justified punishment.
The idea is not to take advantage of someone's wealth to stick them with some arbitrary fine so that the municipality can get a windfall and spend it like a politician!
