A high-hooded truck or SUV is far more dangerous to the public than a small car, and a small car is more dangerous than a motorcycle, so a speeding ticket/liscense points/jail time for an SUV should be >4x more severe than a motorcycle doing the same violation, and bicycles should basically only recieve token fines.

Some countries they are related to your wealth/income. I think that's most fair

Truth. Not only that, it should be scaled by accumulated wealth.

Well......I don't.
You get ‘punishment’ for the act, not the means/method. Stabbed to death or shot dead is -for the law- the same wrong doing. Same goes for speeding. You broke the speed limit, the tool you used is irrelevant. So when an object -high-hooded truck- is a risk for the public, then make them illegal. Set limits to dimensions.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m not in favor of high-hooded trucks, they ARE a bigger risk, they ARE ridiculous, they ARE waste of natural resources, they ARE 9/10 a compensation of some form and in towns they ARE unpractical sized, but violations any driver makes is just that violation. It has no relation to the vehicle itself.
