This is actually a viral video from Levi’s rather than another story of some guy walking right across the USA. That said, it makes entertaining and uses frame-by-frame video footage of an actor and model by the name of the Michael Johnson as he passes various landmarks.

A world record speeding fine?
Posted by: Admin : Category: Luxury Travel
The Swiss are very enterprising when it comes to penalties for speeding. Not only do they take into account the amount by which you are exceeding the speed limit, but the fine is also determined by your own personal income. Spare a thought, therefore, for the wealthy Swedish man who was recently clocked doing close to 300 kilometeres per hour(!) in his 140,000 Mercedes. He now faces a fine of 650,000. Yep, you read that right – 650,000.
