Automated enforcement where fines are anchored to the KBB value of the car is The Way

Enlightenment and utopia across that simple bridge

Good for them. I’m willing to let them off easy to incentivize lower cost cars in general.

Or how about the curb weight of the car? Higher mass means you're doing a lot more damage in an accident. People might think twice about buying an F250 for their grocery getter.
