Swiss court fines speeding millionaire $290,000!!!!

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland – A Swiss court has slapped a wealthy speeder with a chalet-sized fine — a full $290,000.

Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based the record-breaking fine on the speeder's estimated wealth of over $20 million.

A statement on the court's Web site says the driver — a repeat offender — drove up to 35 miles an hour (57 kilometers an hour) faster than the 50-mile-an-hour (80-kilometer-an-hour) limit.

Court clerk Heidi Baumann-Becker said Thursday the unidentified driver can appeal the decision, handed down in November, to the Swiss supreme court.

The Blick daily newspaper in Zurich reported the fine was more than twice the previous Swiss record of about $107,000.

Even more funny. I know this doctor...seen him a couple times myself...Never knew he could afford a car like this LOL....must be a very good investor - his fees were reasonable! Anyway, feel sorry for him getting screwed by dumb-@ss legislation. Poor guy had nothing to do with the idiot behind the wheel beyond asking him to service the car.

I was once a hoon. LOL but now I have been delivered. I still drive like a hoon but the age thing has caught up with me.:D

 

Great, so they fined him 1.45% of his total "declared" wealth! Maybe a prison sentence would have slowed him down more the next time.
