Totally disproportionate IMO, and they can do whatever they like with no structure to the legal system. He has been charged with doing 166km/h in a 90km/h. Which I must admit does sound bad, but no one was hurt, and was allegadly clocked at this speed whilst he was overtaking a lorry.
The car can accelerate very quickly. So It was very possible he was only doing 80km/h before the overtake and 166 whilst doing overtake, but would have then backed off again. So I think they have just seen a porsche driver, making an example and throwing the book at him.
The 1300 euro fine already paid, will likely be the tip of the iceburg with impound fee's to be paid, legal fee's to be paid and another heavy fine.!
Its opened my eyes up, and really put me off going back, and the fast car thing as you just can't get to play or enjoy it anymore.
