Looks like the UK takes speeding seriously
Jailed, The Driver Who Filmed Himself Going At... - Charles Walford's blog
Jailed, The Driver Who Filmed Himself Going At 192mph His daughter got a 2 yr suspension and something called an conditional discharge for 18 month ... that sounds like probation to me. Speed and then put the proof on your cell phone. Not the brightest move in the world. Glad they nailed the two of them.

There was something similar with a Canadian guy setting a new record lap time around Manhattan in an M3 a few years ago. They caught him after he posted the video to Youtube and arrested him. I think he ended up skipping bail and moving back to Canada -- guess he's not coming back any time soon.

I don't think they posted it online. He was under investigation for some other stuff and the cops got his phone and found the info on his phone.

In the U.S., the statute of limitations on most traffic violations is a year. This guy's stuff was from 2012 to 2014, so over here he might have been fine.

In one Scandinavian country (which one?) the cost of speeding tickets is priced in proportion to the driver's income. This could be disastrous.

If the fine is meant as a deterrent, then I can see that that makes sense.

That's reasonable -- why should someone be able to speed with impunity just because they're rich? Penalties should hurt.
