Good.
The Swiss system is an example of real justice for the world.
Progressive fines are the only just solution to the problem.
Yes. More of this.
More of those. Fines should be very heavy…to anyone.. therefore, should be based on income and profits and not on predefined values
flat fines: rich see it as the cost of doing what they want
progressive fines: oh shit, I’m rich and can’t do anything I want and have to follow rules like normal people!
Progressive fines, good for the masses.
Wasn’t it because he tailgated, not “because he’s rich”?
What if you’re broke like me?
Read the full story. Yes, he was charged that much, but he appealed, and only received a 1500 CHF fine, and two years of probation for traffic violations.
The Drive isn’t really the best source of information in the EU, especially if it’s about car stuff. Also, the driver also has a €1.7M p.a. salary.
Introduce a wealth tax and stop with the progressive fines. Years in jail need to be independent from wealth as well. Prices in the supermarket are the same for everybody too.
Very misleading title. The fine is not based on the wealth that the person has, it’s based on the current income of the person.
Well if you’re risking that kind of fine driving when you’re rich, you’d better hire a driver and go to the track during weekend if you like speeding
Wow, what a gorgeously progressive fine!
In Finland we’ve got speeding tickets that are based on your income. If you want a traffic fine to change the behavior of a person, this is the only way. Famously, a Nokia director was fined 116 000 euros for driving 75km/h in a 50km/h zone on his motorbike.
