Interesting, we just had a British guy and a bunch of his buddies busted for going 175kph through a 60 zone. Pretty sure he's seeing jail time for that - not sure how it'll work out though. Sounds like he's a soldier over here to train.
What I find interesting is they base the fine partly on the individual's income. What a drastic change that would be to our current system! I don't know about other states but here in Colorado if you can't afford the whole fine at once they let you make payments and if you miss a payment without making other arrangements or having good cause they will issue a warrant for arrest. If they based it on income some states would certainly have much lower average fines than others for sure!
