    If they are truly so much safer, one could say they have much higher standards for drive safety.

    If they have a much higher standards then the times they do fail, it’s reasonable the fine should be multiplied a few times.

    There are some current examples where commercial higher standards lead to bigger penalties.

    Bar owners can be criminally charged for over serving alcohol to drunk clients. Citizen hosts don’t face that same legal responsibility.

    Similar with Financial advisors vs your crypto uncle.

      I was only fined once in my life for speeding (going 5km/h over the limit on a downhill), since I always respect the speed limit.
      Would it make sense to multiply my fine by the average number of violations other people commit in their lives?

        Then not what I said,

        Neither do you as a private citizen qualify to be held to a higher standard like the real world examples I gave.
