Soooo....they base your fine on your net worth? :eek:

Does that mean I could get a rebate for a speeding ticket fine? ;)

Finland does something similar - in 2004 they handed some 27 year old kid a fine of 170,000 euros (these days slightly less than $250,000) for doing 50 mph in a 25 mph zone.

Norway fined someone the equivalent of $35,000 for DUI in 2003. Apparently the fines there are one and a half month's income.

In light of this new information Glenallen, Alaska is looking pretty reasonable.

 
Its not the fines that are bad, its all the crap they tack on to it. Guy at work just got nailed for passing a school bus. Fine: 150.00 By the time they got done adding on all the fees, 700.00 Nice huh?

 
$5000 here on PEI for passing a School Bus with lights flashing. Don't know what i'd do if i saw it as an intentional/rushed/ stupid act,.... The least of their worries would be the fine. Don't mean to be full of it but,... years ago lost a school mate to someone's hurry.
