They fine you based on the multiplyer of your speed and your wealth. That would slow the sh.t bags down on my morning commute... But, if your wealth is zero, does that mean you can drive as fast as you like ;)

Mercedes SLS AMG Awsome car ! If I could just get that promotion .....
0-60 in 3.9 secs and electronically limited to 196 mph..

Look at the car though... I nearly had to change my underwear just on the door handle alone..

scroll down for the video ... wait 45 seconds to see the AMG (if male, have some clean underwear close by ... just in case)

    Point of post being.........!

    if you could afford a car like that, wouldn't you pay $1m fine to open it up on the road ?

    No. The car starts around $230k... I sure wouldn't spend $1m on a fine.

    In Sweden the fine is proportionate to your salary or wealth. The more money you have, the more you pay.

    The worst part of that story is the link to a 20 year old who got his dad's Veyron impounded permanently.

    That had to be the worst thing I got out of this. Everyone else is going to get their car back (or already has)...
