I have no sympathy for people who drive dangerously either, but I do have sympathy for people who receive an effectively harsher punishment for the same offence simply because they are less wealthy.Someone who has worked hard and made thier wealth should not have to pay a higher fine. That is just absurd. The law is the law. It doesn't distinguish between whether someone is wealthy or not very dangerous territory to advocate for that by your definition someone who is wealthy should have longer sentences in jail too
Or if you prefer, I object to the concept that some people are wealthy enough not to have to worry about following the law.
Maybe they should...
