Swede faces world-record $1m speeding penalty

The Swede was driving a Mercedes SLS AMG - which has a top speed of 317km/h A Swedish motorist caught driving at 290km/h (180mph) in Switzerland could be given a world-record speeding fine of SFr1.08m ($1m; £656,000), prosecutors say.

The 37-year-old, who has not been named, was clocked driving his Mercedes sports car at 170km/h over the limit.

Under Swiss law, the level of fine is determined by the wealth of the driver and the speed recorded.

In January, a Swiss driver was fined $290,000 - the current world record.

Local police spokesman Benoit Dumas said of the latest case that "nothing can justify a speed of 290km/h".

"It is not controllable. It must have taken 500m to stop," he said.

The Swede's car - a Mercedes SLS AMG - has been impounded and in principle he could be forced to pay a daily fine of SFr3,600 for 300 days.

Last speeding was pretty damn expensive.....6 point ticket that brought the grand total from 10 to 16 points within a 2 year window.
Not good. Dont want to add it all up.
 
Well, since it's based on wealth and speed recorded, it's all relative or whatever you want to call it. My last ticket (only one) was back in '92 (05/09/92) was $89, about two days wages for me at the time.
 
160 no points for 20 over in a 45 i got damn lucky that was a long ass time ago.. ive slowed down quite a bit.. speed is for the track
 
120+ on the lodge + suspended license at the time = No points or fines for me!!! :coolio: :coolio: :coolio

Reason Running for late for work and would have been on time if it weren't for that CrownVIC!!!

Gotta love when the Michigan state police don't come to their court appearances.
