Now That's What You Call A Speeding Ticket!

I knew the Swiss were speed haters but this is a bit harsh!

In Switzerland, speeding fines are means tested and it's proved very costly for one millionaire driver.

Clocked at 100km/h (62mph) driving through a Swiss village, the Ferrari Testarossa-driving millionaire has been punished with a 299,000 Swiss Francs fine - the equivalent of about £180,408.

The penalty was handed down by a Swiss court in St Gallen, Eastern Switzerland, with the court calculating the amount by taking into account the unnamed defendant's wealth of around £14m.

Speaking of the judgement the court said in a statement: "The accused ignored elementary traffic rules with a powerful vehicle out of a pure desire for speed."
