The Swiss have the right idea to scale fines according to income.
I have not heard about Switzerland, but this is true in Finland and Denmark at least.

We definitely do this. Not sure though if we only do it for repeat offenders. But there's a story of a rich woman that constantly sped because she could afford the ticket so they just fined her I think 1.4 Million CHF. She took it to court and lost.
In Italy this wouldn't work: all the assholes with cars speeding along highways are formally indigent, not paying any taxes.
The fine should be proportional to the value of the car, or to a formula that includes weight an power of the vehicle
Not paying any taxes is usually a sign of being very rich.
No. It should be tied to a percentage of the person's wealth value and garnished from any value directed to their estate.
