Charge more for the license depending on your safety record. I wish Canada was were Mexico is - I'd move. @savvyboomer: now that makes even more sense.

And this is on top of your fines and insurance rates increasing. I think a DUI conviction gets you an extra $2,500 license fee when you renew on top of everything else. A friend just got a ticket for doing about 50 kmh (about 30mph over the limit and it cost him almost $600 in fine plus 4 demerits. I don't speed anymore.

I'm surpised at all those states being so low. Normally you think of them as high tax states. CN and MD I think I can understand because of low population, the revenue wouldn't be that high. I guess in CA, any threat to drivers is a no-no? @Gretchen: Wow! I’m surpised at all those states being so low. Normally you think of them as high tax states.
