The motorist, a male engineer working in the Hsinchu Science Park, received 3,030 traffic tickets in total, 90 percent of them for the unauthorized use of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system on the nation's highways. He consequently ran up a staggering NT$7.87 million in traffic fines and extra penalties after refusing to pay the fines over the course of several years.
