Got a fast car? You might want to show down...

Speeding fines are being increasingly linked to income across Europe. There was a story a year or two ago about some fella in Switzerland I think who was caught going very fast in a very expensive car and was looking at a record breaking fine.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
Was it Jeremy Clarkson? :Laugh: It sounds reasonable, if you had lots of money you could in essence just pay to drive faster.

In your country I think it is :laugh:

In the US, fines so high are reserved for truly heinous crimes. Such as downloading a couple of songs off the internet.
Yeah, and in one of the cases the record company demanded more money than the industry had made since Edison invented the gramophone. :omg:

Always wanted this question answering in the UK. We use the national speedway sign on a road because the speed is different for different types of vehicle. So for example. Dual Carriage way is 70MPH for a car...60 MPH for a transit VAN. So I am in a Car... and get camera'd at 69...But a transit VAN is doing 59...We are both technically speeding by as much. (In fact the VAN as a percentage is worse). But he doesn't get a ticket. Does this mean that as a Car driver I am being personally targeted...Isn't this unfair discrimination. Also just to make this really complicated some MPVs actually have a transit chassis, and as such should be doing 60 in this zone. I would love this argument to be brought up in court one day. You can imagine the police officer looking a bit dumbfounded ;)

I remember when they were testing the original speed cameras here in Qld... turns out if you were going 247km/hr or faster, you were out of the frame before the picture had been captured. I also remember seeing a speed camera pic of a guy caught doing 236km/hr and thought "man, if you had just gone that smidge faster!!"
