Fines can be delayed, split into instalments, reduced or put pending against credit history for up to 5 years - although if they find you are able to pay but unwilling they get tough fast. DWL can result in longer suspension of a license, fines, or community service. It does help that traveling by public transport here is a lot less likely to be a problem, to be fair.
