Aral BalkanA timely reminder that “punishable by fine” means “legal for the rich.”
Billy SmithOnly if the fine is a fixed amount. :D
In Finland parking fines are a percentage of your yearly income, so the more money you earn, the more you pay. :D
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKfines in UK for larger speeding offences are also proportionate to income (albeit with a top limit, but its a few grand so only the very rich could shrug it off).
However, repeated traffic offences seem much more likely to result in a longer driving ban in UK than in other European countries, which is more of a punishment to a person who is speeding (as they are generally doing so because they enjoy driving)
