A driver in canton Bern faces up to four years in prison after being clocked at 227km/h on a road limited to 80 — and identified by police thanks to videos he posted on social media.
Cantonal police say the man committed ten major speeding offences in five weeks, including one where he hit 141km/h through a 50-zone in the village of Bühl.
His car has been seized and his licence revoked.
Traffic psychologists at the University of Bern say offenders like him are typically chasing social-media recognition and dramatically underestimate the risk they pose.
