Yeah, they expect and budget for these traffic tickets.

This is why I think all fines, both for corporations and people, should be based on a percentage of their income. A lot of European countries already do this for people.

I'm pretty sure fines based on GDPR is supposed to be a percentage of profits. This is not GDPR related and that's why the French CNIL were competent and not Ireland's and Luxenburg's watchdogs.
