Sixteen to twenty kilometre over the 60km speed limit.1. Three offences, speeding between 16 - 20 kph and 11 - 15 kph, I could easily cycle at those speeds. €600 minimum fine although the law in Switzerland is steep . And I wonder if the Swiss pay such fines regularly? (They probably do!). Or is this a nice little earner for the local authorities in Switzerland waiting for unsuspecting non Swiss tourists?
2. If the OP never visits Switzerland again and does not pay the fine, What is the likely scenario?
If you choose not to pay the ticket...DO NOT RETURN TO SWITZERLAND. When you check into a hotel (and sometimes cross the border) police records will list you as a "scofflaw". All hotel records are posted daily with the local comissariat. Then you will be subject to an embarrassing arrest and if you cannot pay...a short imprisonment. Also...like in the USA, these tickets can escalate as time passes. Just pay the bloody ticket and get on with you life...is this really worth all the fuss for $80-90. if you pay it, go to the swiss embassy and keep a record of your payments
Good stuff Bmount, I hear you can get a speeding fine even for speeding on a bicycle over there. Would be nice if that happened here
I think the Swiss guard operate in the Vatican, ensuring you don't park in spots reserved for the PopeMobile.
