Speeding fines in the UK are calculated based on your income. Wilman said his yearly takehome was roughly $600,000 after taxes, so the ticket translated to a total fine of about $1400.
I wish we had that in America :(

It was their 3rd violation in 3 years, in the UK ig if you rack up 12 points you get it suspended no matter what.
There are some US states that do that as well
Makes sense to me. People tend to think of speeding as a victimless crime but it certainly is not and is implicated in the deaths of thousands each year.
I mean I have issues with the whole institution of policing but this seems like one of its more useful aspects.
