Teenager's speeding set new record


A 19-year-old male was stopped by police in southern Norway, after being caught driving 199 kilometers per hour in an 80 zone.
The young man was picked up by radar at Haugesletta, near the coastal town of Mandal, last week. His speeding, roughly equivalent to 120 miles per hour, set a new record.
Cases of such excessive speeding generally result in the immediate confiscation of the driver's license, sometimes for life. Fines are high, and jail terms can be handed out as well. It wasn't determined what punishment the young man faced, but his license was revoked.
