No question that's who it will hit... people inclined to act stupidly. The young and impetuous, people who through no fault of their own have lower than average IQs, etc. But why is it OK to stick it to those people, especially when they are the ones least capable of paying the fine?
For certain things fair enough, distracted driving, impaired driving, things that have the potential to harm other people... sure. But that isn't what we're talking about here. These are stiff fines for small potatoes offenses.
