These sorts of fines carry an additional penalty people generally don't account for, which is that if they do it again, they should get hammered by the justice system. The justice system doesn't like you breaking laws; the justice system hates you flouting the justice system.
It isn't just that they have to pay a fine; it is that they are now quite vulnerable and they'd better shape up and fly right or they really will be hit with something they won't like.
