My bro was going to get banned under totting up, all for speeding, he stated he needed his car for work and they let him keep his license if he paid a higher fine.
Personally I think it is disgusting, it should be the same for all, not a different level of justice depending on how rich you are.
If my bro had got taxis everywhere it wouldn't even have dented his loose change kitty, I am anoyed he did not get banned.
So yes courts can take things into account if they want, even 30 over is NOT an auto ban as it was not in his case, 111mph in a 70.
