Here that would be ridiculously abused. People making $75k per year would get thousand-dollar tickets and people making a million + would just make a phone call and get out of it.

Civil litigation is a very drawn out process and challenging if you are pro se. What claims are you considering bringing and what damages are you looking for?
If you’re thinking about bringing it as a tort, then I would ask for a mediation (settlement) conference as soon as possible (use a caseflow request). If you “want your day in court” or for your “voice to be heard,” the civil litigation system will be deeply disappointing for you. It’s only about money (damages).

Retaking the driving test is a good idea as long as the implementation doesn’t mean long waiting periods to get an appointment or a bunch of additional fees.
Difficulty scheduling + fees really disproportionately and unfairly impacts lower income people.

I am also fine with enforcing work zones, but my only concern is that some of our existing speed limits are well below the normal flow of traffic rate. Anything “automatic” could create huge fines for people who were just going with traffic.
For example on 95 in Stamford and Norwalk I think the posted speed limit is 45mph, but of course traffic often goes 75mph+. “Going 75 in a 45” makes you sound like a lunatic driver, except that it’s just a normal highway. Add work zones to that and it could mean crazy tickets.
