Easy solution: File with the IRS, ask since you are dead, you don't owe any future taxes, right?

Trust me. Things will start moving very quickly.

Exceed the speed limit. Reject the fine claiming you are dead.

Trust me. The possibilities are endless and take my word, I would enjoy them.

You may really be underestimating the blind nature of these systems. There is no single human with the clear authority and ability to alter the rule-making architecture giving these results. They all feel powerless and try to pass it up the chain (all the way to the minister responsible in the national government apparently, who also seems helpless!). As to enjoying being legally dead? I guess you don't have diabetes meds to worry about like the woman in France :)

You would be surprised what a judge can do in countries with rule of law.

"I am not a lawyer but insist I know more than many lawyers"

that doesn't mean you know more than them... or know any given law more than any given lawyer. it doesn't mean anything other than you've won administrative court appearances 4 times. what jurisdiction were those in, anyway? is that jurisdiction representative of all other jurisdictions? absolutely not.

Which only proves that you have some expertise in a small subset of the law: that which has affected you personally.

I don't understand all the downvotes by idiots.

Yes, I am not a lawyer. Never claimed to be one. I have worked with law in two jurisdictions, incl. US. The fields were:

1. Patent law (I am not a patent lawyer either)

2. Regulatory (speak FDA)

While you can screw up, law is not that difficult. It is even easier in countries with codified law.

Calling those that disagree with you idiots is probably not a good—faith attempt at communicating.

And then the police hold you in jail until your identity can be confirmed.

Or worse, transfer you to the morgue.

not when they get slammed with your "abuse of a corpse" lawsuit

I have several passports. Not a good idea to be honest. My embassies would get involved pretty fast :-)

Consular services will generally not protect you against another country whose nationality you hold.

You wouldn’t in this case. All her identifying documents were rendered invalid when she was declared dead.

Since you are dead, you have no income, so you are right. IRS is not a monster, it's bureaucracy. If the system says you are dead, you are dead. Same with the fine, it won't reach you because you are dead.

What's worse you have no rights because dead people have very limited rights.
