What incentive is there NOT to break the law, then? Why shouldn’t people continue to do whatever they were doing wrong if there are NO consequences? There has to be a cost to the driver or there is no incentive to change.

The consequences should be points on your license towards driver improvement courses or revocation.

When the consequences come in the form that is also a benefit to the state, the inevitable result is speed traps at the bottom of hills and shortened yellows to reap maximum benefits with minimal man hours.

I don’t know where you are at, but that already happens where I am at. It doesn’t seem to stop anyone since so few people actually lose their licenses. Money out-of-pocket seems to work better.
