The fine should go up exponentially with the number of violations (as well as income). First ticket? You screwed up. Tenth? You clearly don’t care. Hundredth? You’re doing it on purpose.

Apparently for NYC you can just search and see the amount of traffic violations, and this dickhead has a LOT

This guy pays about $200 a year to drive like an asshole.

At that point it’s just a subscription product.

Bro was at like 19 on just that license plate
Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Probably a cop

Would help a lot, if violations did not only cost money, but the driver’s license eventually.
Speculater@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Damn.

I feel like at some point those should start getting points against your license or something.
Speculater@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Absolutely! 19 in 4 years is crazy. I’ve gotten 2 in 23 years, running a yellow light and not realizing the speed limit changes at night in Texas. Both of those fines were way more than $50. New York is dumb.

Seriously, Ive gotten one ticket in 20 years. One.
bridgeburner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
We have exactly this in germany. If you collect enough points, ur drivers license gets revoked.
qevlarr@lemmy.world 2 months ago
$1200 for 19 violations. No wonder people don’t care about the violations. Red light violation in my country is EUR 320 ($367)

In theory he should be paying a lot more to car insurance because of the points and sheer amount of violations. But maybe he’s too wealthy to care about that either.

Those are usually for moving violations, not things like parking fines.

11 speeding and red light incidents… less than $1200??? Thats absurd.
11 separate incidents being caught doing behaviour that has an increased chance of killing/maiming someone… and less than $1200 in fines to deter that???
this person has proven that they REGULARLY break the law in a dangerous way… and they still allow him to get behind the wheel every morning… and one day when he kills someone, they’ll call it an “accident”
There’s nothing accidental about allowing this person to drive a 3 ton weapon every day

Holy shit I’ve only gotten 1 ticket in my entire life and it was BS. It’s…really not hard to not break traffic laws.

NOT AT ALL trying to support this asshole but I know from experience it’s much harder in NYC. I know conventional wisdom is that nobody owns a car there — but there are more privately owned cars than there are parking spaces, and the city strictly enforces alternate-street parking.
His moving violations are because he’s a bad/selfish driver but it’s harder in NYC than almost anywhere else to avoid parking tickets, unless you’re rich enough to pay for a lot/garage, which is about the price of rent in another city.

Always plan accordingly for the conditions. It’s never ok for your lack of planning to become everyone else’s problem.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
or break them just enough that you don’t get a ticket.
