💨 Abstract

In Switzerland, a wealthy repeat speeding offender in Lausanne faces up to 90,000 Swiss francs ($110,000) in fines due to the country's system of wealth-based penalties. A rich man, speeding at 77 kph in a 50 kph zone, must pay 10,000 francs up front with more penalties if reoffending within three years.
