I forgot where in europe they do this but speeding tickets are a % of your income so the net loss is the same if u drive a veyron vs a civic.

But for this totally arbitrary rule to seize and force the sale of your vehicle, and keep a PERCENTAGE of the amount? That's a whole other story. Why does the person speeding in a Civic only get penalized like what may amount to $3000, but the person speeding in the Ferrari get penalized $47000? Makes absolutely zero sense. They both committed the exact same crime.
