That sounds kinda messed up. but maybe its a euro thing

you should be able to contest a ticket. making financially restrictive just makes people compliant :/

dunno that part rubs me the wrong way.

Based on the tickets I got, usually it was your face, along with your license plate. And the reason he paid more (I saw the bill afterward) was because he paid to "rent" the courtroom, the judge, and a few other associated things. Hence why it is literally just cheaper to pay your 20-30 Euro fine and move on.

It is only more expensive if you contest it and fail. If you contest it and win, you don't pay anything.
