A driver was caught going 137 km/h in his Ferrari Testarossa in a 80 km/h zone, (35 mph over) resulting in a penalty of USD $290,000.00 The hefty amount is due to Switzerland's proportional justice system, where fines are calculated based on the offender's income and assets. The court took into account the driver's financial capacity, whose net worth was USD 22,7 million. The aim of this law is for the penalty to "hurt equally for both the poor and the rich," preventing wealthy individuals from buying the right to be above the rules. The case remains a world record and serves as an example of Switzerland's strict stance against dangerous behavior. The Ferrari may be fast, but Swiss justice is even faster.
BTW that's almost $8,300 for each mile over.

Just a little bite of clearance:
There is first a difference of where you were to fast: In Town or City, Crosscountry or Highway on how badly you get fined.


City: til 15 km/h too fast, regular fine up to CHF 250.--
Crosscounty: til 20 km/h too fast, regular fine up to CHF 240.--
Highway: til 25 km/h too fast, regular fine up to CHF 260.--

in all cases faster than stated above... it goes to the justice and then they consider also your financal situation
