If this were the case, then rich people everywhere else would be speeding like crazy and just paying the small fines.
That clearly is not the case, because fines are not the only thing rendered as a penalty. Driving privileges and criminal prosecution are quickly added on as behavior changes, even if it's small violations that add up.
Everyone faces the same financial, driving access, and legal risk which equally discourages everyone from driving badly, no matter how wealthy you are.
Unless you think rich people should get sentenced to twice as much time for the same crime, then altering the fine for wealth makes no sense.
