United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Depends on the country.
fine based on x percent of monthly income is a good one.
Look up some examples from Finland or Switzerland for the more extreme examples.
And in the UK (where Yorkshire is) we have a points system. If you build up 12 points you lose your license, and speeding can get you between 3-6 points per offence depending how serious it was. So it's really not just a case of the rich speeding all the time, paying the fines and carrying on.
