Some of the Scandinavian countries have used this system where I believe Teemu Selanne got a $100,000 speeding ticket. That's a fantastic idea.

Really ??
Why should one person receive a stiffer punishment than the next for the same offence ?
Is there data out there detailing that rich dudes in Beamers get more speeding tickets ?
