Our Town should double its fines for speeding. Studies show that higher fines result in less speeding, so increasing the fees should improve safety. There is no reason not to do this. If people can afford to pay a $50 fine, and surely they will be able to pay $100 fine as well.
How sound is the reasoning given to support the claim "Our town should double its fines for speeding"? Explain your response in three to five sentences. Help
The reasoning given to support the claim of doubling fines for speeding is not sound. While it is true that studies show higher fines can lead to less speeding, it does not necessarily mean that doubling fines will have the intended effect. Additionally, assuming that people who can afford a $50 fine can also afford a $100 fine is an oversimplification. It fails to consider individual financial situations and may unfairly burden certain members of the community. Moreover, there may be other effective strategies to improve safety, such as stricter enforcement or providing educational programs, which should be explored before resorting to doubling fines.
Can you reword this please......"It fails to consider individual financial situations and may unfairly burden certain members of the community. Moreover, there may be other effective strategies to improve safety, such as stricter enforcement or providing educational programs, which should be explored before resorting to doubling fines."
This reasoning overlooks the varying financial circumstances of individuals and risks placing unfair burdens on certain community members. Additionally, before considering a doubling of fines, it would be prudent to explore alternative strategies that effectively enhance safety, such as stricter enforcement or implementing educational programs.
