Why not?
It has to hurt him. What point would the 'penalty' have otherwise? A guy making 100k a month wouldn't really care if he got a $1000 fine.. where as a guy making 2k per month would find it rather devastating. I'd assume guys would pay a bit more attention to roadrules if the fines they got were relative to their wealth/income.
In finland you get fined by your last years income (based on taxes paid).
There's a minimum amount though, so poor people have to pay a certain amount no matter what.
