Does the US not have any sort of system that makes you lose your license after too many major infractions? Though i guess with an average of about $60 maybe it's just a ton of minor ones.

Not an American, but in my country automated tickets can only be a fine and nothing else, same with small scale speeding. 50 km/h over or something like that is where they can jail you for a bit or take your license away. So if you do 10-15 over a bunch of times, you would keep your license usually.

Not an American but as far as I know that isn’t something that US law would deal with. State or local laws would apply, and they would vary from one locale to the next.
