I read about those big fines in Europe, pretty crazy! I guess if you have money like that then it's fair game.

Back in 2001 I received by far my worst traffic fine. I was simply caught in a bad situation. Young & stupid I was racing a 87 LX with a 347 stroker on the spray. I decided it was better to try to run, boy was that a bad idea. At the end of the night I was taken to jail where I sat till Mon for court. I was sentenced to 90 days in jail, a $1000 dollars in fines & lost my license for 5 yrs. Fines were for wreckless endangerment, eluding a police officer, altered suspension, aftermarket exhaust, tint, illegal engine mods, nitrous & a few other things. They tried to get me for my tires, but they were DOT approved Mickey ET streets.
