Large companies have more employees and will have more violations, maybe proportional to their size, whereas a rich person should not have more speeding tickets than a poor person and should arguably pay more per violation.

That may have been true back in the 20th century, but not anymore--Apple and Walmart have market caps on the same order of magnitude, but one employs far more employees than the other. Besides, if you have more $ per employee, that just means each violation will cost more money/damage.
