"the unnamed motorist's wealth - assessed by the court as $22.7m"

. . . I think he can probably afford it! Plus (imo) deserves it too!

"The accused ignored elementary traffic rules with a powerful vehicle out of a pure desire for speed," the court said in its judgement.

Is that the way they do things in 'neutral' countries? Calculate fines on a case-by-case basis, based on the offender's income/worth?

well if you're homeless you wouldn't have a car :p

fair enough if he was a repeat offender - tough titties to him - might teach him not to drive like an ijot next time.

i dont see why some people should be treated differently from others... just my opinion though

Why would a millionaire care about a $200 fine, ofcourse they are just going to be repeat offenders. At the end of the day, it's about getting people to drive within the law, and to ultimately save lives, if thats what it takes I reckon it's a good thing.

Although, how to administer that system, thats another ball game.
