Some of you never miss a chance to publicly show off how clueless you really are. The driver, a 37 year multi-millionaire from SWEDEN was driving his Mercedes AMG on a Swiss autobahn (like interstate roads, but with the difference that autobahn has free speed on some sections, it works remarkably well!).

So we have a Swedish citizen, from the country SWEDEN
driving his car, down in continental Europe, more specifically in the country SWITZERLAND.

He didn't realize that he left that part of autobahn with unlimited speed (probably from going so fast he didn't notice the signs) and instead drove into a part of autobahn with speedlimits. The permanent speed cameras couldn't even measure his speed, because he was going too fast for them to be able to get a read on him. The police had to manually clock him with their handheld laser equipment which put him a bit over 180 MPH.

So, we have a citizen from a different country, being cought in another country where he thought/believed that speed was unlimted.

Some here have absolutely no clue what they're talking about and should really try to take some reading comprehension class or something, then try to get out more and how about discovering the world, which is actually out there.

Or is mummy's basement really that comfy?

The almost one million dollar speeding ticket is calculated from the value of the car, and part of the owner's income. You guys should really try to get out more and remember what I said about reading comprehension.

Who knows, one day, you just might get it right, once in awhile ? !
i know your point was an attempt to insult but you might want to grab a mirror

Some countries fine speeders on the basis of income. Switzerland is one of them.

The man claimed the speedometer on the car was broken.

The speeding Mercedes ran past several photo-radars before being caught. Older radar models were not capable of clocking a car going over 200 km/h (124 mph). When he went past one with new technology, he was photographed and clocked at around 290 km/h (180 mph).

The technology allows for the data to be sent to the police immediately, who then dispatched a patrol car to pull over the speeding SLS.

Swiss authorities claim there is a myth in Scandinavia that all German-speaking countries, including Switzerland and Austria, have no speed limits on their autobahns, which isn't true, of course. In Germany, certain stretches of autobahn have no official limit, others do, but police can still fine you for reckless driving.
