Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

Man breaks 15 laws in 11 minutes

No - this isn't a joke - it's from the BBC website...

Now some things you hold on to - and some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most

A driver has confounded Swiss police by committing 15 traffic violations in just over 10 minutes, officials say.


The 47-year-old initially raced past an unmarked police car in heavy rain at 160 km/h (100mph) before weaving close to other cars and the road's kerb.

The serial offender clocked up further offences for speeding, driving on the hard shoulder, running a set of red lights and failing to stop for police.

When finally pulled over by St Gallen police, he failed a drugs test.

The unnamed driver, who lives near Zurich, faces a lengthy driving ban and a possible jail sentence when he appears before a Swiss court.

"I can't remember a case this serious," a police spokeswoman told the BBC of Sunday's infringement spree. "It's remarkable."
