Very true. But it doesn't just "feel" like it, it "is" like it.
My palms are sweaty every time I have to fiddle with my HUD brightness setting for this reason.
Oh jeeze... remind me to NEVER fiddle with HUD Brightness XD
That'll teach you hooligans not to double park
Op sorry for your loss, I really am, but this game can be harsh.
Now come back and give it another go, you can do it !

There are definitely some ways the mechanic could be built upon.
I have no issue with fines turning into bounties, though sometimes I feel it's too quick to escalate from one to the other.
I would like stray fire to incur fines when you hit authority targets for example, rather than turning an entire faction against you. So if you hit them it's say a 100cr fine for "reckless" shooting, a few more and it turns into being deliberate and then turns you red. Any shot that causes hull damage should immediately result in becoming wanted. (The argument being hitting shields doesn't do any harm, therefore you should have a little bit more wiggle room regarding tolerance)
Another item is that I would like to see the system I am in and my status in that system front and centre... Don't ask me where but somewhere useful. The detailed version of how much the fine or bounty is is totally fine where it is, but an at a glance option would be helpful.

You thought that was bad, I journeyed out to North America and Pelican Nebula across to Sadr down to East Veil and back across to Elephant's Trunk Nebula's, then something got me REALLY curious a strange double line of bright white stars, NGC 7822, I HAD to go explore this astonishing stellar nursery, so after close to a 1000 LY trip. I hit a hurdle a BIG hurdle my FSD could only achieve a 20 LY jump, well I spent a day faffing about edging closer and closer, exploring the galaxy map (maybe there's a backdoor entrance?) but no, nothing nadda, zip clearly you need a drive in excess of 25 to 30 LY jump range 
. What did i do LOL ,Self Destruct!
But, I will return with a fully kitted out Asp explorer.

Follow the rules and you won't die, simple as that. Nothing frustrating here
Wow nearly as unlucky as the guy who pushed the wrong button in the insurance screen and lost 8.5 mill.... Oh hang on...
1. Stations blow you up for a reason.
2. Insurance screens never glitched for me, if it did I wouldn't push random buttons I'd screen shot it and raise a ticket.
Me thinks we have a rager or a trololol.

Some form of indicator on the HUD panels that one has a fine would not go amiss. In the same place where it tells you that you're wanted, for example.

What problem is there to resolve; game is working as intended?
i feel the pain of such a big loss, but that doesn't mean it is a fault/bug....
Isn't that how it is in the US right now?
I ticketed psychotic Feds in Beta 1 when I first heard the PA in the space stations. Loitering is an offence punishable by death. State sanctioned murder with heavy weapons for holding up the queue at the car park. A bit kind of unbalanced isn't it. But then FD are kind of unbalanced aren't they. Why only last week I ticketed one of the Lead Designers who was obviously delighted with the game mechanism he'd invented for allowing dead Slaves to be sold as Animal Meat and cannibalized, whilst there is no mechanism for liberating Slaves outside of the Bulletin Board. Psychos. And they still owe me £50 for the Founder Membership of the Elite that I paid for and they never implemented. So whatcha gonna do?
