    Ouch, now there's a fine proportional to his income !

    I wonder are Irish court fines proportional to the offenders income, or more or less fixed no matter how well off you are ?

    Nope, not linked to income.

    If you want to see the effect of that, take note of the cars that cruise down the buslane at rush hour.
