The former producer of the cult automobile show Top Gear fell under severe sanctions for slight speed excess. He moved at a speed of 24 miles per hour with permissible 20, which is equivalent to an excess of only 6 kilometers per hour. However, the punishment turned out to be maximum – he was deprived of his rights for six months and obliged to pay a large fine corresponding to the level of his income.
Andy Wilman, one of the key creators of the famous Top Gear show, was in the center of the scandal after violation of the high -speed mode in the UK. The fixed speed of its Porsche Macan was 24 miles per hour in a zone with a limit of 20 miles per hour. At first glance, a slight excess – only 6.4 kilometers per hour – led to serious consequences. According to British law, if the driver violates the speed limit four times in three years, he can be deprived of a driver’s license for six months.

At the trial, Wilman did not dispute the charge, although he noted that he considers the restriction of 20 miles per hour too low. In addition to temporary removal from driving, he paid a fine of £ 1042 – this is more than 111 thousand rubles. The amount was calculated on the basis of the income level of the offender. Wilman has been working on Top Gear since the beginning of the 2000s, and later became the producer of the Clarkson farm show, launched with former BBC hosts on the Amazon platform.
In February, in Switzerland, a resonant case also took place related to financial punishments on the roads. The driver was fined 100 thousand dollars for non -compliance with the distance between the cars. CTOL is an impressive fine by the fact that in Switzerland the amount of punishment is calculated depending on the income of the offender. Since the motorist turned out to be a millionaire, the court decided to recover the maximum amount from him.
