Don't know about hanging drunk drivers, but if it's true, my guess
would be on one of the Arabic countries, especially the ones where
drinking alcohol is illegal.
On the other hand, you really don't want to speed in the Scandinavian
countries. According to the report on NPR, in most of them, traffic
fines are proportional to your income. And in Finland, one of Nokia's
top execs got caught speeding, and racked up a US$104,000 fine, because
of the high wages, bonuses, etc. that he's been getting paid.
