A motorcyclist who routinely ignored traffic laws and drove too fast is going to prison.
The 31-year-old regularly raced through canton Thurgau, up at 100 kph in urban areas and even hitting 200 kph on other roads.

Judges sentenced him to spend at least a year behind bars with 2 more years suspended.
