YouTube, a popular video sharing website, inadvertently helped to identify a traffic violator after a video of reckless driving, entitled "Driving in Norway" was posted on the Internet by the man himself. The video recorded the car's speedometer showing 150 miles per hour on a highway somewhere near Oslo. Spectators could also hear a voice saying, "We're touching 240..We know it will do it. This is a little nice."

Police traced the whereabouts of the driver, a young Norwegian man, and charged him with the fine of $1,300. Local police expressed their concern in this statement, "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."
