Ouch, would a regular Joe or banker be fined so much? I'm not sure.

I have to say I don't think the amount is quite fair but he should learn, my issue is others with money that break rules but get fined peanuts. I know you can't compare but I am certain others get a way with it lighter.

From what I heard this morning, it wasn't a one-off incident, he had been driving for years without a licence. Did he really think he'd never get caught?

When you get away with it for so long, you think you're invincible, and will never get caught.

Is it really that hard for someone with that much money (and supposedly free time) to just get a license? Funnily enough millions of other people in the world seem to manage at some time or another.  It really is baffling.

 

At least the fine seem to be proportionate to his earnings.  I believe a punishment should always be proportional. I don't think someone who can only afford to live on a council estate should be fined this much for example.

You're probably right. He probably started by going out for a quick drive without another qualified person in the car, didn't get caught, and things just escalated from there.

he probably had been stopped but used his fame to get a way with it.

just check every officers facebook accounts for road side poses with him. sorry it had to be said!

Less likely in Germany than here

Is Germany more relaxed then? I thought they was strict about most things still.

[Northants Pie]

How much is it for driving lessons in Germany??

[ivansneck]

No, more strict, he would be less likely to be let off.
