You've heard about the Darwin Awards: Posthumous awards for the stupidest way to remove yourself from the gene pool. There aught to be an equivalent for stupid scofflaws. From FOXnews.com:
OSLO, Norway — Police took up pursuit in cyberspace after a young Norwegian posted on the Internet video of his wild car driving.
Following an electronic trail that he left online, police caught him and slapped him with real-life fine $1,300.
...
The recording showed the car's speedometer hitting up to 150 miles — 240 kilometers — per hour on a public highway near Oslo.
...
Police said they could prove only that the man had driven an average of 86 miles per hour and based the fine, which the motorist accepted, on that speed.
Norway's speed limit is as high as 62 miles per hour, though lower on most roads.
Pretty dumb.
