There should be a camera on the front of the tram that reads the plate. For every minute that the tram is stuck because of the vehicle, it adds to the fine that’s automatically sent to the vehicle owner. The video is stored so if the driver disputes it, the evidence is available to the transit operator.

$500/min. No more of these stupid $25 fines, those are completely meaningless.

Do it like Finland does, and make the fines a multiple of salary.

1 minute = 1 year salary, 2 minutes = 2 year salaries; I can get behind that.

These people often have an income so low it doesn't matter. Finlands law is only good for making the news every few months when they catch someone with a very high income.

Suspend their license. Make it a felony to drive with a suspended license. Make a public internet site where everyone with a suspended license is shown with residency, similar to how SOs are announced, so their neighbors know Chad is without a license right now and call the cops on him when they see him drive away.

Caught driving with a suspended license? The car was used to commit a felony and is seized, like a gun would be.
