This from Finland:
A dot-com millionaire said Friday he is fighting a huge traffic fine - reportedly $44,100 - leveled against him for driving his Ferrari dangerously.
On a recent spin through downtown, Jaakko Rytsola, 27, switched lanes too often and endangered other traffic, police said. Two newspapers reported the size of the fine.
Since traffic fines in Finland are linked to an offender's income, the wealthy Rytsola's was high enough to top the previous unofficial record. That mark was held by NHL star Teemu Selanne, fined $40,200 in June for reckless driving and causing injuries to others.

Evidently all men are not created equal in Finland. It makes losing your license in Sweden for six months a cake walk. Who's next?
