I'm guessing that the driver of that car having to cough up $1M is equivalent to me purchasing an item off McDonald's dollar menu. He'll pay the fine and get on with life.

And you thought The Swiss were all cuckoo clocks and cheese - they have a total sense of humour about speeding/camera detectors and massive fines but still have more guns per person than any state in the US!!

Did you know that the Police caught him because he parked the car further down the road on a reserved police parking space before visiting a gypsy camp just next door?? He also said that the speedometer was broken and didn't realize he was driving so fast 
I wonder what is brewing there

holy crap that must suck having the cops molest your sls like that, but I guess it's his own fault those speeds could have killed him easily.

when i was living on chicago, a guy got busted going 160mph in a 40mph zone, on lake shore dr, at 2am, on a crotch rocket. they hit hime with speeding, running a red light and weaving, $500 fine. i guess chicago is a little more laid back?

If the guy got caught on a bike he deserves everything he gets.

If the fine is that high,this guy may be better to just walk away from the car and never return to Switzerland. It appears he was from Sweden. I'm assuming the long arm of the "traffic" law does not cross borders.

well here in ontario canada
if the cop says you were going 50kmh over the limit you lose your car right then and there, impounded for 7 days and a 5k (canadian) fine
even if you win in court you have to pay the towing and impound charges

Could you have broken any more laws? You're fortunate they didn't throw you under the jail. Doing 145mph with no seat belt...lol.

Even if you have a lot of it, it's still money and worth something, you don't just like "throwing it away" for no reason.
