millionaire actor gets 200 notes and 5 bonus points on his license.

me, pennyless and poor with mouths to feed gets 5 times that fine for the same offence.

I guess it was my own fault for driving a 911?

a car that is not only designed to go faster but also has the handling and braking performance of a supercar.

id like to know what brian cox was driving and id bet it is worth more than the old 911 i had at the time.

another job well done.

DG, the principle works but as always in life the wealthy seem to have more room for manoeuvre. How fast were you going? In Scotland?

BBC article said:

The justice fined Cox £200, reduced from £250 for his early guilty plea, and gave him 28 days to pay.

Now I wonder what you did/said/behaved like that encouraged the 'beak' to lay it on so thick with you...

It's abundantly clear that I'm not, you seek to draw a parallel with your case but we are unable to comment without the circs of your case.

I don't see why being rich should be necessary.
