Baros sets record for speeding in Ferrari
LYON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon's Czech forward Milan Baros was caught speeding at 271 kph in his Ferrari, a club source confirmed on Friday.
Local newspaper Le Progres quoted police as saying the former Liverpool player had broken the record for speeding for that French region, set by a motorcyclist who reached 248 kph in 2000.
Baros was driving on a motorway not far from Lyon on Thursday when he was caught by French police, who confiscated the black Ferrari and took his driving licence.
The 26-year-old, sidelined by an injury, had to take a taxi back to Lyon. He faces a heavy fine and a three-year driving ban.

) a few years ago, I did not see a single police patrol car on the motorway all the way from Calais to Reims. Hardly any other cars on the road either (the locals don't get on the toll roads I think) so you could do pretty much what you liked.
