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.

It's one thing to impose tough penalties where everyone is subject to the same punishment, as in if you're doing 40kmph over the speed limit, regardless of whether you're in a Civic or a Ferrari, it's the same excessive speeding ticket...
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.
