That's not true.
A friend of mine got caught speeding 120 in 80 due to negligence.
3 months suspension, a very big fine, 80% of which is conditional on not making traffic violations in 3 years.
There is no automatic prison sentence.

Mental. I'd be inclined to just never stop. Doesnt sound like you could make it worse for yourself.

Hi, take a look at this then. Baron Von Grumble nicked in Switzerland. Also my friend lives in Geneva and has experienced the whole over zealous nature of Swiss policing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL3v-VvmRhs

Imagine sitting behind bars alongside rapists and murderers and you tell them you got 4 years for speeding.

"A Portuguese national, who was caught behind the wheel at 204 km/h"

Translation:
New speed record on Vaud motorways: a 28-year-old Geneva driver driving a luxury limousine registered in the canton of Geneva drove more than 320 km / h last April on the A1 motorway. He was confused by the images of his race taken with his mobile phone.
Video footage was found on the cell phone of the driver who denies the facts. The films show that the limousine Bentley Continental was moving more than 320km / h on April 21, between 3:21 and 03:36 hours, said Wednesday cantonal police Vaud. Some images reveal that these recordings were made on the A1, between Coppet and the Vengeron interchange, on the territory controlled by the cantonal police of Vaud.
"This is the worst known driver in the canton of Vaud," said Jean-Christophe Sauterel, spokesman for the cantonal police Vaud, denouncing a "criminal behavior."
Alone on board
In charge of a related investigation, the security police inspectors seized the video material of the defendant. Involved in this other case, the driver was heard in mid-September by the specialists of the Unit of intervention of the gendarmerie vaudoise. He claimed to be, the night in question, accompanied by a friend who drove his car. He himself would have just filmed the dashboard of the vehicle.
There is, however, several evidence that the accused was indeed alone on board. While driving, he was holding his mobile phone, with the objective on the meter of the dashboard showing the speed of 325 km / h, or more than 90 meters / second. However, he continues to deny himself driving the car.
Endangering others
The gendarmes proceeded to the immediate seizure of his driving license. He has been denounced to the service prosecutor and the car service of the Canton of Geneva and will be responsible for serious violations of the law on road traffic and endangering the lives of others.
