MOT is TUV with an umlaut, the yearly-check.

Road-tax is 1500 euro a year here, but that varies by region.

Wowsers!

The total of my yearly costs is £245 for road tax, £50 for an MOT and £350 for insurance.
(not including service and repairs of course)

to think I was going to post about the guy in Finland who had the highest speeding ticket ever:

From Wikipedia.org:
The most expensive speeding ticket ever given is believed to be the one given to Jussi Salonoja in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. Salonoja, the 27-year-old heir to a company in the meat-industry, was fined 170,000 euros for driving 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The uncommonly large fine was due to Finnish speeding tickets being relative to the offender's last known income. Salonoja's speeding ticket was not the first ticket given in Finland reaching six figures

But I just read that about a Swede driving 290km/h in Switzerland facing a 720,000 euro fine and his 180,000 euro Mercedes has been taken awaiting trial. Posted at 19:18 by the Dutch news agency ANP.
