WintergreenWas it Norway where some guy with a lot of money get a $200,000 (or similar) speeding ticket?

Probably Switzerland.
They may not be the only country to do it, but they are infamous for it.
As I understand, speeding fines are a percentage of the price of the car. Speeding in a Ferrari? That's going to be expensive. Speeding in a 2CV? Good luck with that.
Aleksandr Koltsoff@leeloo @Wintergr33n @argals In Finland speeding tickets (once the speeding is severe) are calculated based on income levels based on last taxed income (and additionally based on severity).
Other countries using similar arrangements are Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Mexico and Macao (according to wikipedia): https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A4iv%C3%A4sakko
Benjamin Braatz@nihkeys @leeloo @Wintergr33n @argals Germany's speeding tickets are (unfortunately) not based on income.
Yes, we have day-fines based on income, but only for criminal offences, while speeding tickets are usually only regulatory offences.
