I was reading a paper this morning when I came across this story (translated from German):
Now this is a very common practice all throughout Europe and as far as I know this happens in all of Scandinavia, Germany, France and others.
In some countries like Austria this does not apply and in some countris here (again like Austria) vehicles which were cought speeding but are company and not private property cause the fine to be sent to be payed by the company and there are no legal consequences fo the drivers (which various rich cocks abuse by having their mental dickenlargement of a sports dick on wheels registered as company rather than private property, thereby avoiding legal trouble and speeding all the time)
It is a practice that I really do aprove of, since at a certain point of income a fine for speeding isnt really a punishment. Thereby this law pritty much ensures that one cannot literaly buy oneself out of legal trouble.
But enought of Europe and it`s marxist traditions.
Let`s read through what FOX News has to say about this:
I am use to the "punishing rich people for being successfull is unfair" whining. Yet moving to "punishing rich people for speeding is unfair" is a step into a very very weird corner of stupidity.
After reading the headline I didnt even bother reading the rest, believing it to be rather predictable. But if you want, you may:

Quote:Finish buisnessman Anders Wiklöf had to pay 95.000 Euro (129.941 US Dollars) for being 27 km/h over the speed limit in an urban erea. This being one of the highest fines payed in the country where the prize of the traffic fine is determined by the persons income.
