Unnamed Lawyer

A 58-year-old lawyer from Aargau, Switzerland, who was recently fined over $110,000 for dangerously tailgating another vehicle on a highway. This extraordinary penalty, which is nearly double the value of his car, was determined based on his substantial annual income of 1.6 million Swiss francs, highlighting Switzerland's unique approach to traffic fines that scale with income. The lawyer contended that Swiss law lacks clear definitions regarding safe following distances, but the Swiss Supreme Court upheld the fine, citing evidence of his vehicle being dangerously close to the one in front.
