I wish it worked like that in the US.  God knows something's gotta get
through to people who hold a Californian driver's license (or not,
since California doesn't enforce licensing in the slightest, one of
the reasons why I think anybody with Californian plates should be
required to paint their vehicle hunter orange and paint WARNING: MORON
backwards across the front of their vehicle as a warning to motorists
to move out of the way and pedestrians to stay off the sidewalks...

About the only thing that has progressive fines that I can think of is
transit fare evasion:  Minimum $80 on the first offense, minimum $120
on the second, Min $240 and 7 days in jail each additional time.
