Saanich councillor Teale Phelps Bondaroff is pushing to make higher-income earners pay more for traffic violations.
A Saanich councillor is pushing to make higher-income earners pay more for traffic violations.on Jan. 9 aimed at eventually asking the province to change the fee structure for driving and traffic violations.
“The current fine system disproportionally impacts people with lower incomes, and fines fail to serve as an effective deterrent to the very wealthy,” Phelps Bondaroff explained. “This motion tries to solve both of those problems and, by extension, improve road safety.” “For some people, that might be the difference between buying groceries that month or their rent. Whereas for other people, that might mean selecting a slightly less good wine over dinner. So $100 doesn’t mean the same thing to everybody,” he said.“I’m not necessarily thinking people should be treated differently because of their income, but it’s something to look at,” Bill Innes said.“It takes away that ability to say, ‘Hey, I’ve got more money, I can do what I want,'” Neil explained.
