Or you could just pay the tax for not following the law. I don't see how disobeying the law is any more dishonest than following it, the courts are going to tax you for it but as long as you pay there shouldn't be any problems.

So, as long as I have the cash, breaking the law isn't an issue for you?

  That's the point of fines, you pay what is essentially a tax for your behaviour. Morality is a whole different thing, I for one don't find it immoral for a driver to pick up passengers without stopping at the garage first. Anyway, it's called civil disobedience. I'd have though HN would be the last place to condemn that.

      Because that's exactly what it is? This might be different if the law in question wasn't utterly ridiculous.

Because of these people, sensible countries adjust the amount of fine based on the wrongdoer's income.

  Which I would assume France is also doing.
