I've travelled Europe for the best part of 40 years,free of the constraints of speeding and Her Majestys law,slowly/sadly in recent years the noose is tightening,how many speed cameras I've seen in recent years I've lost count and set off!!!,fortunately still with no effect on us Brits and vice versa for Euro's coming here, BUT
Met a friend today who told me he got nicked for speeding in Switzerland a few months ago 800 Euro on the spot,and then went to court and fined another 400Euro sent in the post and a 6 month ban in Switzerland(oh dear :roll: :D ),as I pointed out still no points on his UK license :D ,but I've no doubt will come in the end.
Enjoy it while you can!!
Quite true in that the Euros' are getting tough with speeders. I got done in Norway last year and the fine was £450 for 17kph over a 60 limit. We're quite lucky here in that the coppers have to be visible and we have bright yellow cameras. Over there, the buggers hide themselves away. Mind how you go.
Yes but Switzerland hate all motorized transport, let alone speeding ones
I got my pictire taken in Liechtenstein (I'm guessing same as Switzerland) on a Sunday morning a year a go. Luckly i was close to the border.
Smart move is not to go there with my Tiger for a couple of years :D
800€ for speeding, that's just wrong.
Quote from: "yack_ass"800€ for speeding, that's just wrong.
But very Swiss
(You have to register pushbikes there too!!)
