In 2002 Anssi Vanjoki (founder of Nokia) was ticketed for speeding in Finland. Since Finland bases fines on income his ticket was for $116K Euro.

“””He just admitted in court to driving 110 in a 55 MPH zone”””

It seems to me that it get series once you hit 100 mph.

It’s England.

I suspect they adopted “progressive” fines that punish the wealthy more.

Yes...didn’t read it to the end. I was thrown off by “AsiaLive” and the reference to Singapore dollars (”S$”).

“That’s a bit harsh I would say..................”

Typical of what most states here would dish out.

True story: on my first visit to Singapore I was standing in line at the airport's immigration/customs area and saw a sign and a trash bin next to it. The sign said,in several languages,"Death Penalty For Drug Traffickers Under Singapore Law".The trash bin next to it said "Amnesty Bin".

I nearly soiled my underwear when I saw that despite the fact that I had nothing on me. I almost dropped my blood pressure meds in the bin...just in case. I didn't...and luckily I wasn't arrested.

As I said...they don't fool around there.

Quickly, but I am also at least partially correct:

“Since 2017, UK courts have used sentencing guidelines for speeding offenses that base fines on a percentage of the offender’s relevant weekly income (typically 150% for a Band B offense, with adjustments for severity).”

What? "Do you know who I am" didn't work with the officer? Eyelashes flutter, flutter, flutter. Wink, wink.

…driving at 38mph in a 30mph zone…

Note to self: Never drive in Oxford.

I’m not comfortable driving on the wrong side of the road anyway.
