BBC News - Swede faces world-record $1m speeding penalty

A Swedish motorist caught driving at 290km/h (180mph) in Switzerland could be given a world-record speeding fine of SFr1.08m ($1m; £656,000), prosecutors say.

The 37-year-old, who has not been named, was clocked driving his Mercedes sports car at 170km/h over the limit.

Under Swiss law, the level of fine is determined by the wealth of the driver and the speed recorded.

In January, a Swiss driver was fined $290,000 - the current world record.

That new Mercedes SLS AMG is one beautiful car.

That law will quickly curb one's sense of entitlement.

A fine based on the wealth of the driver... Such a thing would be called communist here.

I didn't know a truly communist system existed.
