Norway's richest woman fined £23,000 for drink-driving

In the UK, drink-driving carries a hefty fine – but it's capped at a maximum of £2,500 except in extreme circumstances. Not so in Norway, where traffic fines are related to income – put simply, the richer you are, the more you have to pay.

That caused some problems when Norway's richest woman was caught driving under the influence. Katharina Andresen, a 22-year-old student with an estimated wealth of £928m, was banned from driving for 13 months and handed a mammoth 250,000 kroner fine – that's £23,000.
