I am pretty sure in that country its based on your income as well as the severity of the crime.

Its pretty funny tho how he was able to get past most of the speed cams as they can't detect anything over 120mph except for a new one that was just installed...

I was reading some article last week which mentioned that Switzerland was intollerant of speeding of any kind. They don't allow any motorsports in their country and have low speed limits. I can see that as being one reason why the fine was so high, but geez...!

A good place for a bank account.

The worst place in the world to speed.
