#2That seems dangerous in an emergency situation and technically complicated to implement. They should fine people proportionately to their wealth instead like in Germany.

#3Seems like a lot of effort to keep asocial drivers on the road. Why not just take their drivers license? Then move on to prison time if they keep driving.

#4For six tickets in a year?! Just take away their license.

> six speeding tickets and red-light camera violations, or four speed camera or red-light violations, in a year
That does sound like people who are completely oblivious to the law.

Wrong country. The fines are abdolute, not relative. There are fines that are relative to your daily income, but not traffic code violations.

I agree that it’s technically complicated, but I don’t understand what you mean by dangerous in an emergency situation: nobody besides emergency services should really be speeding on NYC streets to begin with, and this seems strictly more accommodating than just taking these drivers’ licenses away (which is well precedented).

#9I’m on board. And while we are on the subject how about restricting the horn from working inside city limits. I have had the idea for a while that your car horn could be programmed to just get quieter and quieter the more you use it, perhaps gradually shifting pitch to sound a bit silly as well.

not everyone who is rushed to the emergency room arrives in an ambulance.
