The Swiss are very enterprising when it comes to penalties for speeding. Not only do they take into account the amount by which you are exceeding the speed limit, but the fine is also determined by your own personal income. Spare a thought, therefore, for the wealthy Swedish man who was recently clocked doing close to 300 kilometeres per hour(!) in his 140,000 Mercedes. He now faces a fine of €650,000. Yep, you read that right – €650,000.
