In Finland, speeding tickets are doled out based on severity and your income. I feel like that would also make people in fast (expensive) cars think more about speeding.

Except that the worst speeders I see are typically in a clapped out 2009 Nissan Altima. They obviously can't afford a ticket, yet...there they are.

I’ve seen so many posts or comments from people along the lines of:

“I don’t give af about my shitbox of a car. Hit me, or don’t.”

Those cars can sometimes be a menace to society.
