As someone from the UK, all these points seem ridiculous to me, are they really valid elsewhere?

I get that point 1 is extremely valid in a place like the US where everyone can have a gun.

Do other countries not enforce fines?

In the UK you can have your car confiscated on the spot if the automated number plate recognition in a patrol car flags you don't have insurance. Fines are enforced, but escalating that to non-payment of fines seems like something they could do (people might complain, but only the ones not paying their fines!)
