I agree. The minimum fine is 6€ if you have no income. That is multiplied depending on the severity of the crime. Speeding 42km/h (he was doing over 80km/h in a 40km/h zone) counts to 42 fines, the amount of one fine depending on your income. The guy has so good income that his fines ended up to 170000€, when someone with no income would've gotten 252€. I think it's fair. It's not like he couldn't afford it...
