    This is called a Tullock spike, though other economists came to the conclusion that it would have an inverse to the desired effect. Where safe, law abiding drivers would have the danger car while those who don’t care would find a way to bypass the mechanism and continue to drive recklessly. Thereby resulting in more injuries for the drivers you don’t actually want to injure.
