It's fascinating the way the article paints the problem as the size of the fine, or "state revenue", compared to 1 and 2 decades ago.
If you don't want a fine don't run a fucking red and don't speed. A $490 fine doesn't even come close to the worst case scenario for being a stupid fuck in charge of a few tons of metal. Thinking the fine is less or not being able to conveniently afford it are not excuses.
