Swiss driver gets £180k speeding fine (CH)

A Swiss millionaire has been given a record speeding fine of $290,000 (£180,000).

The Ferrari Testarossa driver was caught driving at 137km/h (85mph) through a village with a speed limit of 50mph. According to the BBC, the penalty was calculated based on the unnamed motorist's wealth - assessed by the court as $22.7m (£14.1m) - and because he was a repeat offender.

It is more than double Switzerland's previous record speeding fine.Source URL: http://carneeew.blogspot.com/2010/02/swiss-driver-gets-180k-speeding-fine-ch.html
