Making traffic fines proportional to drivers’ incomes, as is done in Finland, is a fairer system according to a new report from The Australia Institute, supported by Uniting Vic Tas and Financial Counselling Victoria.

Mike in joined by Alice Grundy, Australia Institute research manager and report co-author who outlines a more equitable model for speeding fines based on a Finnish proportional fine system.

With cost of living already pushing many Australians into financial difficulties, traffic fines can force low-income people into choosing between essential spending and paying fines.

By contrast, traffic fines are a minor annoyance for Australia’s high-income earners.
