    I think its by fines actually… Just got a $609 USD speeding fine… I speed less since then

      Intuitive system suggesting correct behaviour is more effective than system encouraging to break law and them punishing for it severely

      Well, that is a lot of money (for me and presumably you), but without proportional (to assets) fining it makes laws pay per use. In otherwords, money is not a good judge of character; people can have disposable income and ignore the same fine that changed your mind about speeding. And as another commentor said, preventing is better than punishment.

          Did you read my comment? Fines (unless proportional to personal assets) will not be effective against rich folk (who can afford large obnoxious dangerous cars), effectively creating a pay to use law.
