I'm of mind that all government "monetary disincentives", e.g. fines, sin taxes, pollution taxes should go into fee and dividend scheme. Solves both moral hazard (we want more fines/driving because we need revenue) and regressive nature of those.

I thought of that for a long time. Finally decided that fines should be handed over the Social Security Admin and booked against the offenders account.
