Switzerland millionaire hit by record speed fine

So, if you are unemployed, without any savings, and assets, you can drive as fast as you want since your penalty will still be 0. Great.

Quote from Rearden Metal:

Bahnhofstrasse is the one and only big-city thoroughfare I've ever walked for miles without seeing even a single hot chick.

Seriously, not even one. What's up with that?
All of the women cut their hair short when they reach, oh, 28. It makes them look terrible.
 
For the ones with a need for details:

The court of first instance fined him 2007 with 30 daily rates à CHF 3.000.-, i.e. CHF 90.000.-.

The higher court increased the fine to 130 daily rates à 2.300.-, whereby half of the fine was pronounced with a probation period of 2 years.

The delinquent can now appeal against the judgment and go to the supreme court.

(The penalty for heavy speeding can be imprisonment or a fine. In most cases the court pronounces a fine.)

The system works as follows in case of a fine:

1. The court has to define the number of daily rates according to the guiltiness. The number has to be within 1 and 360.

2. The court has to define the value of a daily rate. This should be the amount, a delinquent has each day left after spending his core living. The value has to be within (theoretical) CHF 1.- and 3.000.-. In practice we never go below CHF 30.-.

3. The court has to decide if they pronounce the fine absolute or with a probation period.

Hope this helps...

typical of you - probably cruising in the gay quarter werent you :D

seriously - switzerland if full of hot chicks (zurich and geneva anyway). everyone laughs at switzerland for its dull nightlife, but thats because where it all goes on is a lot more 'underground' than most places - you have to look for it. when you find it you wont forget it!
