Speeding fines linked to your income

**Tank** · 13th January 2010, 12:35

Yet another reason to burn any labour leftie on siight - they are talking about the concept linking fines to your wage packet.

Forget that you might have a HUGE fucken mortgage, or money invested in busineses - 1/2 the "rich pricks" I know have very little cash at the end of the month as they reinvest it all (and employ people - add to the value of NZ inc).

Next thing they will have speeding discount vouchers available at WINS for the fucken wasters.

GRRRRRR

Soooo the dole and benefit bludgers get a fear a massive $20 fine for doing double the speed limit?

Sounds about right for NZ...

Bit extreme isnt it
Demerit points still would apply? and loss of licence for 40 KPH over the limit

the issue is that those on low incomes or benefits would still do what they do now and have them written off for community service or PD etc
yet the people who make a significant tax contributions will be expected to pay.

the article atually only mentions that judges can do it so wouldnt apply to Instant fines. Dont see a problem with this if it is for serious repeat offenders

Fines for the rich is overrated.

Wouldn't this be classed as discrimination against us clever cunts!

I THINK SO

I personally like NZ's new strategy - to move away from fines and towards demerit points.

Demerit points have equal consequence to all. The odd speeding ticket is no big deal, but if you repeatedly offend you simply loose your licence.

And it also removes the PR stigma of Police Officers being revenue collectors.

Just keeps them on as cunts, instead..............

What an absolutley ridiculous idea!!!!!
Discrimination - again

Moral of the story......don't do anything naughty on the roads so you won't get any fines.
.......never ever must you travel over the speed limit.

now that really sucks, so once again if you work hard, get qualified in your field, you are going to get the shit kicked out of you. This does not sound like a vote winner (except if your not working) but what do you expect from the Left
