Still quite a chunky increase from the £60 flat fine beforehand.
Finland does "day fines". Basically you pay 50% of your daily wage but that can go up the faster you're going depending on the speed limit.
In 2002, Anssi Vanjoki, a former Nokia director, was ordered to pay a fine of 116,000 euros ($103,600) after being caught driving 75km/h in a 50km/h zone on his motorbike.
And in 2015, Finnish businessman Reima Kuisla was fined 54,000 euro ($62,000) for driving 22km/h over the 50km/h speed limit.

Happily the only car I'll be driving in Switzerland, once the plague has passed, is Cycliste's new car. Which is a Skoda Fabia Estate with a throbbing 95bhp 3-cylinder engine. Boredom may beckon, but probably not bankruptcy.
