Because the govt are keen to keep the playing field even <sarcasm
meter off the scale>. If they only raise the points, then everyone
will hurt the same, but because the govt is sleeping with the rich end
of town they felt it was only fair to penalise the poor people more.
So if you speed and are rich you lose some points and don't notice
the cash. If you speed and are poor, you lose the points and your
kids starve for a week.
Yet another way the govt is keeping things fair and watching out
for the well being of the community... NOT.
