Rich guy. Poor guy. lol.
Finland has a traffic fine system based on percentage of income. The boss at Nokia was fined even more than that a few years back

i almost got a ticket tonight. Cop was hidding behind some bushes but i could barely see the glow from his little computer thing so i slowed down but then when i was passing him i saw his brakelights flash. So at that point I though he had just put it in gear and was coming after me, i was going 45 in a 35 before i slowed, but he didnt so i'm still ticket free.
