Let's assume I heard incorrectly on the demerits portion given he was mumbling and speaking quickly (I still think he said it could be 0) and say that it still stays at 3 points, I am absolutely certain that he said he can have the fine range from 0 to 490 (because he wrote it down) if I owned the v...
