Driver with $2 million speeding fines nabbed

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Transport authorities in Brazil have caught up with a speed-loving Brazilian driver who clocked up nearly $2 million in fines, local media reported.

Police intercepted the driver of a 12-year-old car in Sao Paulo at the spot he most frequently committed infractions, the O Globo daily said on Thursday.

For seven years he had been speeding and running red lights but was not arrested earlier because he never registered the car in his own name.

The paper said the car, worth around $6,500, would be auctioned if the driver, unnamed, did not pay the $1.8 million in fines in 90 days.

I think rather than paying the fine, I would let 'em auction the car.

Then bid up to $6,300.

The ticket would be printed on the bottom of the cops boots, straight to your forehead so u don't forget to pay. You will have then the choice between having your nuts chopped or being deported to Siberia. :rock
