Errata?:
If the necessary speed for a perceptual shift of red to green is indeed
0.25 c, the fine (assuming a 65 km/h limit) would likely have been
closer to $74,948,050.

If the fine was levied in dollars while the infraction was measured in
km/h, are we to assume that the person was driving in Canada, or in
Australia?  I suppose that can only be determined if the direction of
the Coriolis deflection is known....
