Virginia Traffic Tickets

Huh? So, if a person drives a 20 year old heap at 60mph through a school zone they should be fined less than someone who drives a brand new sports coupe at the same speed through the same zone?

Perhaps murderers should be tried by a similar system; a high school dropout gets a lesser sentence because they couldn't be expected to know better?

Yes I'm reaching and being pedantic, but tv on Friday nights is crap :hihi:

if the point is to punish then a person who makes a million dollars a year is not punished in the same way as a person who makes $30,00 a year when they are both fined the same amount for the same offense.

The same line of reasoning obviously wouldn't apply to cases where jail time or even probation were at issue.
