After the province of Keldarra doubled its fine for driving a vehicle with an expired safety inspection, the number of citations issued for that violation rose sharply. Yet surveys indicate that, following the change, a considerably larger share of the province's drivers renewed their inspections on time.
Which of the following, if true, best resolves the apparent paradox described above?
- Revenue from the higher fine funded plate scanners that now detect a much larger share of expired inspections.
- The province used a portion of the revenue from the increased fines to repave several of its busiest highways.
- Most drivers in Keldarra were unaware that the fine for an expired inspection had been doubled by the province.
- Inspection stations across Keldarra raised the prices that they charge for performing a standard vehicle inspection.
- A small number of drivers in Keldarra have continued to ignore any fines they receive for expired inspections.
