I reckon that rego should be based on population density. The bigger the city you live in the more you have to pay to offset the cost of all the traffic lights and multi-lane freeways etc........

Yes that should be factored in. But that drunken hoon out woop woop way driving on a lonely stretch of unpatrolled highway is more than likely only going to kill himself in a single car collision. Out in the big smoke and the burbs that same hoon may end up taking out 3 other cars and end up in someone's kitchen after they have just left the road and crashed into your house. Also that stretch of road that was laid that cost x millions for just 30 people to drive on each year certainly wasn't paid for by the residents of woop woop. It's all relative in the end......
Basically most of us being greedy and selfish human beings need some sort of reward for good behavior and don't always respond to punitive measures in the right way , not to mention how desensitized we are to all these fines .
Solar panels are a Great example methinks. I wonder how many people whack em on their roofs because they wish to save the planet...lol. I reckon the fact that they may see a neutral invoice for their cpnsumption has more to do with it. Same with this. Reward people for the accepted indoctrinated behaviour that is expected and let human nature take over.
