Swede faces a fine of 1 000 000 for speeding

Recently we wrote about the difficulties of Arab sheikhs with the law in London. However, they pale before those problems faced by some unnamed Swedish citizen in Switzerland. 37-year-old man, whose name police did not disclose, led its Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, equipped with 570-horsepower engine. Instrument readings sports car owner is not particularly watched, but observational road police have recorded the speed of 290 km / h with the permitted 120 km / h. Now hapless rider faces a fine of 1 million Swiss francs ($ 950 thousand). Speeding more than 25 km / h on local laws is a criminal offense, and the size of penalty is calculated based on the income of the offender. It is worth noting that in this case the amount of the fine is four times higher than the cost of the car itself. The authorities indicated that they do not lead accounting fined. But it seems that this will be a record. And not only in Switzerland.
