That stretch of the A1 has more speed cameras than you can shake a stick at so he was obviously taking a chance, especially as he must have needed quite a run up to reach that speed. Wonder whether he will get away quite lightly, like the Swedish guy who I think ended up with "only" around CHF 25'000 (after initial reports that the fine could be CHF 1 million).

Well, it seems that the Bentley man is the record holder for Switzerland.
I was also reading that seemingly the world record is set at 389 km/h clocked in May 2003 in Texas USA.
