Driver gets 15 citations in 11 minutes

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (UPI) -- Swiss police said an Italian man set a record for traffic violations in their country by racking up 15 moving violations in the space of 11 minutes.

Police in St. Gallen said the 47-year-old's spree of road violations began when he drove past police while speeding 100 mph in a 60 mph zone during the weekend, the Daily Mail reported.

Officers said the ensuing offenses include driving too close to other cars, driving too close to the curb, weaving across the white dividing line, failing to stop for police sirens, barreling through red lights, speeding through a construction zone and driving on a hard shoulder of a roadway.

The driver was finally stopped at a roadblock and issued additional violations including driving under the influence of drugs, failing to drive with due care and attention and using a mobile telephone at the wheel.

"This character will be getting his driving license back around the time Haley's Comet makes its next appearance," a St. Gallen police spokesman said.
