With fines generating nearly a billion euros last year, the ruling sparks questions about fiscal priorities. Meanwhile, unpaid tickets can spiral — one man’s €1,000 bill grew to over €3,000 due to late fees, prompting a Supreme Court advisor to suggest judges review whether non-payment was due to genuine financial hardship, not evasion. The case highlights how the system can bend under pressure — and how courts sometimes step in to restore fairness.
