If you think speeding fine in Singapore is crazy you have not met Switzerland. They have been giving record fines and it is common knowledge that they do not tolerate speeding. Recently a unlucky Swedish male got caught for traveling at 300km/h. He was unlucky as the old radar capturing models were not able to capture a car traveling at this phenomenal speed but no one can escape the long arms of justice. He was eventually taken down by 21st century technology, a new camera. The police dispatched a car to catch him and guess what he said. " oh i didn't know i was traveling so fast the speedometer is spoiled". He must have thought that Switzerland police were all three year olds or he is a bad lier. The speed was so fast that even a Mercedes SLS, a technology advanced car equipped with good brakes needed 500m to come to a halt. In the end he was fined 650,000 pounds. The police said that no one has been recorded traveling at such speed in Switzerland coupled with his income, it explains his fine.
