Police took up pursuit in cyberspace after a young Norwegian posted a video of his wild car driving on the Internet. They caught him and slapped him with real life fine of 8,500 kroner (NT$44,500).
The Norwegian, identified only as a man in his early 20s, posted the video called Driving in Norway on the YouTube.com site in mid-November. The recording showed the car's speedometer hitting up to 240kph on a public highway.
"Police found the man by following the electronic trail that he left on the Internet," a police news release said.
In the video, which the driver removed from the Web site after it made national news in Norway, a voice could be heard saying: "We're touching 240. We know it will do it. This is a little nice." The car, a Skoda Octavia, hit the high speeds on the major highway E-18, about 35kms southwest of Oslo, the capital.
"It is disturbing that young people test high speeds on highways like that, and then, on top of it, use the Net to boast about the misdeed afterward," said Morten Hassel of the district police's traffic unit.
Police said they could only prove that he had driven an average of 139kph, and based the fine, which the motorist accepted, on that speed. The maximum speed limit in Norway is 100kph, but is lower on most roads. (AP)
挪威一位年輕人在網路張貼自己飆速開車的影帶後，警方在網際空間追捕。警方逮捕了這位年輕人，重罰他八千五百克朗（新台幣四萬四千五百元）罰金。
這名二十出頭的挪威年輕人十一月中旬在YouTube.com 網站張貼了「在挪威開車」的影片。影片顯示，奔馳公路的那部車子速度表飆到時速兩百四十公里。
警方一份新聞稿寫道︰「警方藉由追蹤這名男子的上網紀錄，找到了他。」
影片中可聽見一個聲音說︰「我們將達到時速兩百四十公里。我們知道它做得到。還算不錯。」這部Skoda Octavia的車子在首都奧斯陸西南方約三十五公里處的重要E-18公路高速狂飆。駕駛在影片登上挪威全國新聞後，隨即將影片從網站撤除。
地區交警單位的摩頓．哈塞爾說︰「年輕人在公路測試高速很讓人困擾。最過分的是，事後還透過『網路來吹噓自己惡行』。」
警方表示，他們只能證明那位駕駛的平均時速為一百三十九公里，罰金是依照那樣的速度，駕駛也接受了。挪威的時速上限為時速一百公里，但多數道路的速限更低。
