Per wikipedia (if that's authoritative dunno):
The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242mph in a 75mph zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CCX, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally.[5]

It wasn't how fast, it was how much he got fined. If I got the ticket, the fine would be about 2¢

Obviously 290.000$ looks like some sort of communist punishment for the rich. On the other hand, you need to consider the fact that a 20 million $ guy could pay the regular value of a tickt every day, without caring a bit about it, therefore putting himself above the law. My guess is this is what that swiss court had in mind.

I had a client once who got four tickets in shor order for going form 104 to about 108 mph in his Bricklin on a trip from Grand Junction to Denver on a challenge to see how quickly he could get there. That was when the speed limit was 55. I got them to drop three of the tickets and he plead to 104. He got 9 days in jail.

So with four stops under his belt I wonder what his average speed was. Probably about 45mph.

If memory serves, on the most recent New York to LA rally the second place car never exceeded 80mph.

Classic rabbit and hare race.

I was caught doing a wheelie on the RC51 at 110 in a 50 zone and only got a warning...
