    Default £650k speeding fine!

    In Sweden your fine is dependent upon how fast you are going and how much money you have. BBC News - Swede faces world-record $1m speeding penalty. so this young man got a rather impressive fine.

    That's a lot of money, but I've always felt that fines should be proportionate to wealth.

    Hmm, I guess that confiscating the car is one punishment for that sort of serious speeding offence, or perhaps a month in detention.

    It's not easy - one wrong move and you get your feet wet - makes getting drunk a dangerous pastime!!!

    Me drunk? Never, nope, not me, no sir-ee... sober as a judge, a drop never passed my lips... ever.

    At least, that's what I'm claiming just in case my Mum's listening.
