The use of traffic fine revenue has been a contentious issue in Taiwan, with various groups having different views on how to allocate these funds. The People's Party's proposal, which aims to use all the revenue to improve traffic safety, is a laudable goal. However, this proposal was modified by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to reduce the percentage from "full" to "not less than 50%," which has raised concerns among the public.

The DPP's modification was made to ensure that the proposal could pass through the Legislative Yuan's review. However, this change has also drawn opposition from the Kuomintang (KMT) and the New Power Party (NPP). The opposition parties believe that the real intention behind the proposal is to use it as a political tool rather than to improve traffic safety. According to a report by Central News Agency (CNA) journalist Chen Junhua, the DPP proposed in the legislative session today that the proportion of traffic fine revenue used for traffic improvement should be "not less than 50%." This proposal was vetoed by the KMT and the NPP and was not included in the discussion agenda.

We need to understand the motivations behind this move. Why did the DPP modify the proposal? Why are the KMT and the NPP opposed to it? What is the underlying political intention?
