Swiss police halt Swedish driver's 290 kmh dash
At 170 kph over the 120 kph limit, he may face a penalty up to
1'000'000 CHF (USD is currently close to parity with the Swiss Franc, 1 USD = 1.05 CHF).
Speeding at more than 25 kph over the 120 kph limit is regarded as a criminal offense, and penalties is also determined by the offenders income.
It may remind the precedent were a Ferrari driver was fined
300'000 CHF for speeding in a town.
Note that while the limit for penalties is at about 1 Mio CHF in Switzerland, in Germany it is near 10 Mio Euro...
