Authorities in Switzerland have taken action against high-speed driving violations in different cantons.

In the canton of Bern, police arrested a 20-year-old driver in Aegerten after he posted videos of himself reaching speeds of up to 227 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on social media. The investigation identified at least ten speeding offences, resulting in the seizure of his vehicle and the withdrawal of his driving licence.

In Zurich, police intercepted a 46-year-old driver traveling through the Uetlibergtunnel at 189 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. The driver's licence was confiscated, and the individual is being reported to the public prosecutor for reckless driving.
