Nervous smiling and/or laughing is called incongruous emotion.
These people were seen expressing emotional responses in front of thousands of strangers.
There’s a high probability their emotional responses were incongruous and not “look at me, I have no remorse, haha”.

Penalty should be based on income so it hurts everyone and not only the poor... For real, 600 bucks is spare change for so many people.

Do fines deter? Do they enforce it across the state? We don't even have traffic police here (major city) to enforce anything. Police have went as far as saying they won't be pulling people over for anything because of risk. Jurisdictions aren't using cameras to any capacity that deters.

u/Aegi 14d ago
They do, but the most effective, even more effective than offering rewards, is essentially the equivalent of taking $50 from people and offering it back to them if they do whatever the requirement is.
There's actually been lots of studies on this and both from a business and biology standpoint there's a lot of reason to continue studying the differences between decisions and the motivations behind them.
But yeah, for whatever variety of reasons, probably hundreds of reasons working in concert, the average human being is more motivated by getting back what they already felt was there's then by either gaining something potentially new, or the threat of losing something they currently have.
I don't know that I'm smart enough to know how it could be done in an experiment, but I feel that there has to be at least a fourth version of motivation (while staying in the context) they could test motivation based on those three possibilities being done on other people, not the individual being tested.

Australia doesn't fuck around with this
Depending on which state you live in, the fine for using a mobile phone whilst driving is anywhere from ~$350 to $1,000+
Most states also have (or are in the process of introducing) cameras which can detect people using their phones whilst driving.

Which is why an income % based system is a good idea if fines are going to be used as a penalty. Even the filthy rich who wouldn’t feel a dent in their wallet after being fined >5% of their income will still result in a hefty contribution the state Transportation Fund or the local town they got pulled over in. Plus, after a couple/few more tickets even those with an 8fig income will start to feel the financial loss and (hopefully) change their behavior. All that being said, suspending someone’s license should be considered as an alternative penalty for first-time offenders imo

That's exactly right.
Not sure where you're from but in Australia we have a 10% tax on all goods and services, GST.
Not that it comes up in conversation often but whenever it does no one understands what I'm talking about when I try saying that it's a huge tax on the poor and a nothing tax on the rich.
They think its a fair tax for all and like the idea, me and who I associate with are pretty mid to low income earners. But people don't understand this concept.

Slightly different rules depending on which state you're in, but generally you can still use a phone for navigation, provided that it's in a dedicated mount/holder and you don't actually need to touch it whilst driving.
EG:
You can only use your mobile phone if it’s secured in a cradle affixed to your car, or it can be operated without touch, and only to:
- Make or receive audio phone calls.
- Use audio functions.
- Navigate.
All other mobile phone use while driving is prohibited. This includes email, texting, playing games, taking photos or video, or using any other functions on your phone.

More likely they had the entire first half/quarter of the game for the camera crews to seek them out in the audience. They do the same thing for other things like kiss cams or "lookalike" skits too.

Texting/etc on the phone while driving is legitimately worse than drunk driving. One of the major car magazines (can't remember if Road & Track or Car and Driver) did a test at a closed driver-training facility a few years back, and people messing with their phones (trying to read or reply to a text) had worse reaction times and got into more "crashes" (orange cone obstacles) than people over 0.08 BAC.
