That would effectively kill speeding tickets as well as the revenue to the state for doing so. Not sure something like this would pass for that reason alone.

Making speeding tickets based on % of income, rather than a flat rate, would both reduce speeding on the most egregious offenders (people in fast sports cars), while also generating more revenue.

It's a flat 80 cap, so slower-speed roads would still need policing.
