In hindsight I agree with you Northwind, it would be silly to give him hundreds of points and fines that he quite possibly couldn't pay, I was in a slight rage in my first post.

But, as he is employed, can afford a moped/scooter and insure it etc, then why shouldn't he have to pay the full cost of his crimes, even if it was by installments that took a year to pay off etc, a couple of grand isn't a great deal of money.

I guess the biggest thing that annoyed me is how lightly he got off.
And that's the problem, as his fine/punishment etc was so light, where is the deterrent for future crimes of this nature, people like this need to be made an example of for this very reason.

*edit*

One point that I didn't include in my first post is that he is currently employed as a mechanic, not that i've anything againsed mechanics (I used to be one).
Just that if he has a job/income then he should pay the full cost of his fines.
