That's the real kicker to this story:

Kuisla’s $58,000 ticket is not even the most severe speeding ticket issued in recent years. According to another daily newspaper, Ilkka, Kuisla himself got an even bigger fine in 2013 when he was going 76 mph in a 50 mph zone. That ticket was for 63,448 euros, about $83,769 at the time.

It seems that fine wasn't enough to dull his sense of entitlement.
