Traffic fines in Costa Rica?
I had a discussion today with local polices in Costa Rica (I passed few cars on double yellow...) and they mentioned that traffic fines in Costa Rica are extremely high. They do not give any warnings, fine immediately. 
For passing few cars on double yellow, they said that the fine is $600 (USD)!
After around 30 minutes of discussion, we agreed that if I donate some money to their "coffee fund", they would forget my passing...
Have you had any fines in Costa Rica and are they really so filthy expensive?
