I believe that traffic violations and related incidents are. If so, it's calculated after taxes, social security payments and a basic living allowance of €255 per month have been deducted.
Gosh, I don't suppose that the uppermost Danish marginal tax rate is approximately £25000/50000 or 50% ... on that basis Segway's facts seem to support the £50k/w theory if anything.
