"I think the speedo on the car, which is new, is faulty." rofl... worst excuse ever.

 

That's a great excuse... if the speedometer is faulty, how's he supposed to know he was above the limit?

 

And people bitch about America? Hell you could hit and kill someone here and not pay that much (I mean if you are a professional athlete )

 

why did he stop? lol they obviously werent going to catch him...

 

Income based tickets? Just because someone makes more money doesn't make them any more guilty.

 

Yeah that's retarded, so if you don't have a job you can speed all day long?

 

The lesson is clear here......be a bum, but have close friends with nice rides!

 

I agree with this statement 100% but at the same time a $300-$400 fine to a millionaire is no incentive to not do it again and again.

 

yeah, this is no different than US taxes. we're taxed more or less based on our incomes, and like it or not, this is the same thing.

the fines are BASED ON someone's income. sure, a poor person is fined LESS OVERALL MONEY, but the PERCENTAGE of income would be the same. so $950,000 to this guy is a lot, just like a $500 or $1000 ticket to someone making minimum wage would be a lot of money

i'm ok with the concept, if it's percentage based. what the hell would stop another rich person from doing the same thing if the fine was the standard $500??

but yes, i agree with maz...............if you're broke but have buddies with nice rides, you're in the clear!! ha ha.
