An unidentified gentleman in a Mercedes SLS AMG from Sweden was caught driving 180 mph in a 75 mph zone in Switzerland. Under Swwiss law the speeding ticket was based on about 3.5 times the value of the car (almost $1,000,000), the car was confiscated and the 37 year old driver lost his license.
Sounds like he would have been better off speeding in a Tata Nano, but, then he probably could not have reached the 75 mph speed limit!
