Let me introduce you to one of my Russian favorites - штраф ("shtraf", pronounced with a short "a".) It is basically the German word for punishment - Strafe (pronounced with a long "a") but with a narrower meaning. Штраф is the equivalent of "fine". It is used a lot in the context of driving, but is not limited to it.
