AI Summary:
A repeat offender is one of Switzerland's wealthiest people. Germany, France, Austria and the Nordic countries all issue punishments based on wealth. In 2010, a millionaire Ferrari driver got a ticket equal to $290,000 for speeding. A prosecutor tallied the maximum fine the driver faced under the law, the report says. The Vaud criminal code sets a maximum financial penalty based on the "personal and economic situation" the defendant didn't contest the decision, which was handed down in June for the infraction nearly a year ago.

Germany, France, Austria and the Nordic countries all issue punishments based on a person’s wealth.
