Our town should double its fines for speeding. Studies show that higher fines result in less speeding, so increasing the fees should improve safety. There is no reason not to do this. If people can afford to a $50 fine, then surely they should be able to pay a $100 fine as well.

The reasoning given to support the claim is somewhat sound, but it fails to consider some important factors. While studies may show that higher fines result in less speeding, it doesn't necessarily mean that doubling the fines will have the same effect. Additionally, affordability is not the only determining factor in someone's willingness to pay a fine. Other factors such as deterrence, perceived fairness, and enforcement may also play a role. Therefore, further analysis and consideration of other factors are needed before concluding that doubling the fines will improve safety.
