My most expensive traffic fine I paid "knock on wood" was $480.00 back in mid 80s when I got busted speeding up in Big Bear and I went over double yellow since there were no traffic...

I thought that was pretty high, then, until I read an article from Automobile Magazine 12/2010 issue that 9 Euro countries currently issuing fines propotional to the perpetrator's income! And the maximum traffic fine "now possible" in Germany is $16 million.

The highest fine in Finland to date is $190,000.00 and fine paid by a French driver caught speeding @ 151 mph was $64,500.00

Mine was mere spare change in comparison.
