I agree the fine was a tad high, but so are the speeding fines for 1.5mph over the speed limit in Vic!!

You can't be done for being 1.5mph (2.41kph) over the limit because there is a 3kph allowance that is written into the law.

As you said, it is the Mail!
It is also untrue. A woman from Exeter was taken to court a while ago and ordered to pay a fine of £2000.
It was later overturned as a ridiculous case and she was let off the pathetic charges!
