Swiss dude gets a 98.500 Frank fine for tailgating. Similarly someone in Finland got a €121.000 fine for speeding.

The problem with these income adjusted fines is privacy. Finland has a central database with everyone's income that cops can apparently just access. It's effectively a kidnap shortlist. Though to be fair, these guys were already flaunting wealth so for them the additional risk is marginal. But everyone is in that database.

In fact, tax records are public in Finland and everyone can request them at the tax office. Same in Sweden I believe. Lists of people earning over 100k€ are published by the media every year.
