Since they are intended to 'punish', there is little punishment in fining a man on £130,000 say £200. He earns that in 3 1/2 minutes. Great punishment - forfeit 3 1/2 minutes wages! People on average earnings take a heavy hit with the fine, - he should as well. are you sure https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/18/wayne-rooney-due-court-face-drink-driving-charge-2am-arrest/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney was ordered to do commuity service instead, his defence team asked for a fine instead, but it was refused. 120 hours I think.
