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 more than $20 million.

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

I know a few countries do their ticketing system this way based on wealth. This is just
flat out robbery and this should not be tolerated. Flat out BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would get the hell away from this type of gov't control as quickly as I could.

thing is that if you fine a guy that has $20 million dollars a ticket that is like $500 he won't give a shit and just keep doing what he is doing and eventually crash his car and maybe kill someone innocently driving down the road...

Throw his ass in the cooler for awhile being a repeat offender. Bet he won't do it again.

Niether do most. It's not the money that keeps me from speeding but the possible loss of my license. And I'm anything but rich.
