If you fine people based on their bank balance, you end up fining careful savers, not rich people with shell companies.
The best way to achieve the same goal for the more major fines is with custodial sentences. E.G. 2 weeks for drinking and driving.
And for the more minor traffic stuff with points and bans. If every one has the same number of points and gets the same ban, it is fairer
From what I recall, the places that do this usually do it in the form of days of income. I'm not sure how they determine that if someone's money comes from investments, etc.
