Here is an excerpt from a book on traffic laws and lowering accident rates and traffic fatalities: (Vanderbilt, 2008, 237). In Finland, which has one of the lowest crash rates in the world, drivers are given fines based on a calculated calculus primarily involving their after-tax income. The law, intended to counter the regressive nature of speeding tickets (they take up a larger part of a poor person’s income than a rich person’s), has led to some very high-profile speeding tickets, such as Internet entrepreneur Jaako Rytsölä’s $71,400 tab for going 43 miles per hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. There has been some grumbling, especially among the wealthy, but the law remains popular; in 2001, the legislature overwhelmingly rejected a cap on fines. Using this description as your basis, analyze the thinking of the legislators who passed the law.
