You make $100,000 a year you pay $200, a normal speeding ticket including an arrest and jail time perhaps, unless you are are a movie star then you spend far less time in prison..

So for this guy, $962,000 is like a $200 speeding ticket? This guy must be loaded...lol..
OK I'll correct you.

1) The speeding occured in Switzerland. It's their law, not ours.

In Sweden it's "flat rate", so the highest fine is about $550.

2) I know for sure Switzerland and Finland has this system. Not sure about any other Euro countries.
