In at least one of the scandinavian countries, they actually do that. Your fine is expressed in a point system instead of a fixed amount and forwarded to the tax office, And then the tax office fines you based on your income. Which led to a 6-digit fine for a speeding driver some years ago.

It’s Finland you’re thinking of

(which as an aside is not a part of Scandinavia, but is a part of the Nordics)

Switzerland and Belgium too as far as I can see.
