More information on Swiss speeding fines
www.ch.ch/en/d...
Hello everybody today we are talking about driving in Switzerland. Driving here is amazing. Except for one thing Swiss speeding cameras. These speeding cameras are called blitzes and they are literally everywhere. Like around every corner everywhere. Before moving to Switzerland I considered myself a fairly decent driver. I generally kept the speed limit. And I'd never gotten a ticket for anything Well actually once I got a ticket for running a red light. It was early morning and I had not drunk any coffee. I'm not even sure that I was really awake. It was well deserved. But I'd never gotten anything speeding-related. Not even a warning. Then after living in Switzerland For just 9 months I've gotten 2 speeding tickets and another just came in the mail. In my defense when I moved to Switzerland I did get a new car. 1.6 l inline 4 cylinder. 0 to 60 9.9 seconds. Of course with a Van like that you're gonna get speeding tickets but exactly how fast was I going. Ticket number 1. I don't know what came over me but I guess I just want to let her hair down and see what she could really do. Just let her go a little bit. Sure enough, a Blitzer got me. Going 2.5 miles an hour over the speed limit. That's right 2.5 miles an hour over the speed limit and I got a ticket. But then to make it even worse the swiss blitzer people subtract 3 km off of your total speed to make up for discrepancies in their equipment. So I got a ticket in the mail for going point 62 mph over the speed limit. Ticket number 2 I got in my Van going uphill with a Canoe on my Roof. I was like man I've got a power-up this Hill because I've got a Canoe on my roof. My Van is really powerful but sometimes it struggles on the hills. And I was focusing on powering up this Hill and they blitzer got me. 5.6 mph over the speed limit I mean that is a little bit faster. Ticket number 3 I have it in my hand But I haven't opened it. And I'm not going to open it until the end of the video. Because once I open this ticket I'm not gonna want to record anymore I'm going to be done. So if it isn't clear by now I don't love blitzer's and I Don't really like the way they're used either. But this is Switzerland and I am not Swiss and I am living in somebody else's country. So I do need to be respectful of their laws and how they choose to handle speeders. So I don't mean to be rude disrespectful to Switzerland or anything like that but on the other hand, I do think people deserve a little bit of a warning. Fortunately, when I moved to Switzerland my wife sat me down had the Blitzer talk. But others are not so fortunate I was talking to one American couple in they told me. Their 1st week of driving in Switzerland it they got $700 in tickets and didn't realize it until they came in the mail weeks later. And that's the problem in Switzerland the blitzer' Are generally pretty well Hidden and they are generally a Gray color that doesn't stand out. And that's kind of the idea that you can't see them. But if you didn't realize That there were speeding cameras you could be driving around thinking everything Is good and be getting tickets the whole time. Now they do Flash but people like me who come from places without speeding cameras may not know what to look out for. In fact, the 1st time I got a ticket I didn't know until my wife who is sitting right next to me Was like you just got a ticket that was a speeding camera. I was like I just thought I got Papyracee. And this is a common thing that foreigners coming into Switzerland don't understand how strict the speed limit is and that if you speed at all you will get caught. One great example of this is that in 2016 and there was a speeding camera put up on 1 of the major highways leading From Switzerland to Italy. This is where a lot of people go back-and-forth. In 6 month. This speeding camera gave out 68000 tickets. Now that is roughly one ticket every 4 minutes for 6 months straight. This one speeding Camera alone mates witchland 8 million dollars in that 6 month period. And I don't know for sure which direction the's camera was facing whether it was facing towards the traffic coming from Italy are going to Italy. But I'm going to guess that it was the traffic coming from Italy. I mean it was deathly the traffic coming from Italy. This video has been kind of I heart video for me to make As I've said I don't really like blitzer's and I'm kind of pull towards Being kind of annoyed about it and just ranting about it. hg
A funny side to the Tin Policemen story:
Speeders used to receive by post a copy of the photo made by the speed camera. It included the driver and passenger's face.
Too many spouses wondered why someone else was the passenger!
The police stopped sending the photo, the divorce rate dropped.
Heard: "...there should be a warning..."
Thought: There is. Round signs with red border and black digits.
Take into account that speed traps measure the real speed while your speedmeter shows a bit more than you're actually driving. Which also means, at that very moment you were measured, your speedmeter was not only "a little bit over the limit" but most likely quite a good bit. As example, in a 50km/h zone, to get a speeding ticket, your readout will be much closer to 60km/h than to 50km/h (60km/h minus measuring tolerance minus speedmeter tolerance equals final fined speed). It is quite easy not to get a ticket even without driving too slow. In a 50 zone keeping it between 50 and 55 should do the trick.
Why are the rules so strict?
We had a massive problem with speeding and regular very bad accidents.
As you know, the streets are in great shape. And Switzerland beeing fairly wealthy, many own vehicles with powerful motors.
There was even a national vote about the new rules...
PS:
In my book the fines are way too high, espec. if your 5-10 km/h over the limit on a 80/100 or 120 km/h road.
I have no problem with very hard penalties for speeding in a 30 km/h zone..
To prevent accidents. Just follow the rules and u won't have to worry about getting finned. Simple as that
to get a low accident rate with death's. 2019 there where the lowest car accident deaths since the recording since 1940! (excel sheet with all the data bottom): www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/mobility-transport/accidents-environmental-impact/transport-accidents.html
Well, if I compare Austria (where I am from) and Switzerland (where I live), those expensive fines do work, if I am honest. Some are over the top for sure, but people in Austria usually dont care about getting caught speeding nearly as much as the fines are much cheaper.
Speeding isn't the only thing that causes accidents. Obeying traffic rules and keeping a good distance helps a lot, too.
Germany and Switzerland have very similar numbers for traffic deaths although Germans drive way faster.
@@flopunkt3665 Germany: 5.2 fatalities per 100'000 motor vehicles
Switzerland: 3.8 fatalities per 100'000 motor vehicles.
Switzerland suffers 30% less fatalities than Germany due to traffic accidents. That's worth the while, IMO.
Speeding tickets or tickets in general are a significant source of income for the government! No joke!
02:21 Here we call this an "Ehremaa".
OMG. I am really glad to know this before I move to Switzerland. Thank you for the video!
the speed camera you are talking about is located on the E35 motorway before the exit for the city of Chiasso.
South direction (Italy) and the speed limit is variable 100 or 80km / h. the road is downhill and there are often queues for customs
Ciao da Lugano
Love your video and just so you know, the “blitzers” are even a pain in my Swiss a.., every time time I come home to visit from the US, I’m watching left right and center for ever changing speed limits….
Your attitude changes rapidly as soon as you know a person that got killed by a driver that was not respecting the speed limit.
Hello I was a paramedic in the USA. I am very aware of the consequences. This video is not intended to complain about the speed limits. (I actually think that they are quite fast compared to the USA) The idea is to inform people that maybe be used to a more relaxed system while at the same time being interesting. Thank you for watching.
@conquerorimpulsef you think that we have 99.99% non-morons on our streets, your are either not one of them or you‘re blind.
No one died because of someone going 5-10 MPH over the speed limit
@@top10cars2 you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Stay in your bubble and be happy…
Haha, be sure it is the same for me as a Swiss nativ, last week i get a ticket for 5 km to much. For you as an American it must be crazy. 40 years ago i drove thru your wonderful California. I was very impressed how relaxed driving can be. I wished we would be able to do it in Switzerland too.
In Australia, the system is exactly the same, no tolerance for speeding, red lights, and parking, etc. If you don't pay the ticket on time your driving license would be blocked, (plus additional fine),
and unusable until you pay.
U probably wasn't just 3 km/h to fast. In Switzerland there is like a balance where the "blitzer" reduce your actuall speedlimit by 5km/h because of the different speed indicators of each car. So if you were 3km/h to fast, this probably means you were actually 8km/h to fast. Good thing is the ticket will be lower if u speed in a 120km/h zone than in a 30km/h zone..cause thats much more dangerous.
You are correct. There is a correction In the description.
its 4km/h.
@@Someone-wh8hi It depends on the speeding camera and on the driven speed.
i drive a 400HP car here in switzerland, in 5 years iv got 20+ tickets ... ALL under 5kph over ... wife is italian, shes has just as many or more.
Don't speed and u won't have to worry about ticket.
That's true, but it's way to mustch fun to drive fast on the mouthen passes. 🤤🤤🤤 Is a living dream.
Keep up the good work Mr Philip! Can’t wait to see another video
Thank you Mr Perkins!
I'm Swiss, this is stupid, all life long I say this laws doing the opposite of securing traffic as you always have to watch your speed..
that is an interesting statement... you should always be mindful of your speed (btw most cars produced from the 2000s onwards have a cruise control of some sort)
that would drive me bonkers.
That aside, your editing and video quality is getting rather good
I think East Germany used to have strict rules of that type. I remember the signs at the Berlin Wall on the western side reminding the drivers leaving West Berlin: "DDR: Alkohol 0,0% !"
it depends on the canton too, in Aargau for example the police can't set up fixed Blitzer and they also can't set up unsupervised temporary one (the trailer ones)
they have to have a guy in a car near them, which is neat because it means they can't put many of them up
Is that because they are German speaking and like ze autobahn speeds?
About the people coming from Italy.... In Italian highways the speed limit is 130kmph. you just keep your speed less than 150kmph over the speed limit (5kmph is the tolerance of your speedometer, 5% the tolerance of the autovelox and the worst that could happen is a small 47€ fine that should be cut to 50% if paid within a week or so. Eventually they realised that the burocracy behind this fine (paying for the letters, photos, or the lawyers to respond to the incorrect tickets, people that just will never pay...) is more expensive than the 23,5€ of average revenue. So is very rare that you even get it and you skip directly to the 173€ fine if you're going up to about 185kmph (still, 5kmph of tolerancy of your speedometer and 5% tolerancy of the autovelox) and again it will be cut in half if paid within a week. So as you can see speeding in Italy is not very punished and people are not used to give a lot of attention to be exactly under it, in fact the speed limits are very often lower than what the street is designed to handle just to be able to fine people an higher step.
Don’t worry, I’m a native Swiss, but even I have already earned a good bunch of tickets ... most of them were only 40 CHF ... however, you’re right, they suck!
You have to know the system to break the system. There are roads more likely to have 'blitzers' than others. But sure, who am I to talk to. I sold my car 6 years ago after I got so tired about all the tickets I collected over the years.. ;) But seriously, usually you can go up to 6 km/h over the speed limit without getting a fine. ..and yep, the various speed limits are a pain in the arse, but it's a tiny country where there is a settlement every 2 km forcing you to adjust your speed, so yeah..
The trick is, if you wanna drive a mountain pass or something a little faster on your bike for example, go 1 run up and 1 run down slowly first and look out for potential speeding cameras. This way, if there are any, you know where they are and you also just warmed up the engine which is also good practice to do if we're honest.
Edit: Also if you know there is a camera or laser patrol coming up and you cross other bikers on your bike, make a wavey hand sign to them, signaling to slow down. They will also wave their hand for you if there is anything coming up.
If they see you warning somebody you lose your license, so pay attention doing that.
So you are the kind of Depp who races up passes with their motorbike? No worse humans in Switzerland.
Hahah, yes! Speeding cameras are everywhere. 😀 I got used of them by now. Some other things about driving in Switzerland annoys me a lot more. 😀 Even though, Swiss roads are great. I feel really safe while driving a car, bicycle or if I simply cross the road as pedestrian. 😀
I'm Swiss and yea, just follow the rules thats it lol. Of course you get tickets when ur too fast on the streets. Enjoy the best and most beautiful country in the world :D
Haha I will. Thank you.
you seem like one of those people who jump on their brakes on the highway when the speed limit changes or tries to pass a car with 120 cruise control on
@@gerrya4818 exactly, that is way more dangerous than driving a bit faster
Love your videos! But what you fail to realize is that you describe the "Swiss Germans". I'm Swiss-French, and I have the same trouble to get used to some peculiarities of that part of the country! It's also probably, the only country you get fined on a bike. I did pass through 3 red lights, naively stop by the police officer, get fined, said thank you and left... I really hope you will do a video on the "Waschküche", the centre of the Swissness.
Very true. I live in the Swiss German part of Switzerland so I'm not very familiar with the other places.
"I really hope you will do a video on the Waschküche". Great idea!
Well, I'm Swiss-French as well and though that was a rather accurate depiction of our side of the country too.
Mate, there are about a dozen blitzers on the 35km between Bienne and Neuchâtel and that's more than you find on the 120km between Bienne and Zürich. Roads are littered with speeding cameras in the Romandie. More so than in the Swissgerman part. Except in the Canton du Jura, where the general consensus even within the government is that laws and rules are the works of the devil and should be broken where possible. They also have the highest taxes, lowest wages and highest unemployment rate.
The Chiasso speed cam you are referencing (the 8M$ camera!) is facing south, catching traffic moving from Switzerland to Italy.
In that area speed limit is 100kmh
Well, I guess I was wrong.🤷♂️
The portable blitzers could be anywhere at any time, you never know where one is, especially in summer. I’m Swiss and i hate the blitzers, i once got a fine for Sfr. 700 for driving 104 in an 80 zone, i was thinking about something, not concentrating on my speed and there were police hiding behind a barn and i got zapped by the portable thingy in the cop’s hand, (the thing that looks like a blow dryer) and got pulled over. I got a letter in the mail to say i wasn’t allowed to have another fine like that in the next two years. That was in June 2016, and i learnt my lesson after that, now i keep a close eye on my speed limit.
In Australia there is a points system so if you are unlucky to be caught a couple of km/hr over the limit a few times you lose your license. I would rather pay forty francs and all is forgiven.
The main issue I have in Switzerland is that speed limits are very badly marked, there isn’t any consistency, they just put them wherever is easiest, and the signs are often dirty or half hidden behind trees. A few times I’ve been doing eighty and not noticed the start of a fifty zone.
That is true for some signs but most of them can be seen very well, at least that's my experience. Generally in the villages it's 50, in between the villages it's 80 and on the autobahn it's 120. If you are not sure what the speedlimit is, better go a little slower or look what the other drivers do 💁♀️ (that will not always prevent you from speeding tickets to be honest though 😅) Switzerland is relatively dense populated and therefore there are lots of villages and speedlimit changes, that makes it more difficult for foreigners, I totally understand the frustration with it.
Now i remember why i never made a driving license here in switzerland.😁
That's a funny twist in this video.
And the tension build up in the video was very good, I was also dreading when you opened the letter - oh hopefully it won't be too bad!
(Warning: do not read on spoiler alert!).
lol, now you're happy about the ticket at the end!
It would have been the same for me and I wouldn't have opened the letter for a while. :-)
I speed all the time in switzerland. (live in kanton zh) i usually go 90 to 110 in 80 zone. 55 to 65 in 50 zone and 140 on the highway. All tachometer speeds so subtract 5 to 10 percent to get real speed. I got blitzed 3 times and that was when i wasnt speeding and not paying attention. I have been driving over 4 years now.
Thank you for telling us this!
its most likely the camera coming from italy to switzerland, but no to catch the italians that visit us and get their money, they will also drive back. its a total different approach. swiss ppl drive 130 in switzerland on the autobahn most likely when 120 is allowed, but as soon as we hit foreign countries we go to like 150-160 on the autobahn. its more to remind the swiss people they are back home and have to slow down :P the reasoning for us going faster outside of switzerland is just the price of the ticket you could get. my dad always told me to only drive as fast as i can pay for it :P
You may don't know, but the Canton Aargau made a rule to don't allow fixed blitzer. (one city put one fixed blitzer)
Yeah, I definitely prefer the States, where everybody drives 10 (15?) over and enforcement is lax -- until that day (night?) when it isn't. Then, when you get pulled by a real, live policeman in an actual police car with flashing lights and everything, you engage in a battle of wits / charm offensive to negotiate the speed you are actually cited for, or the offense. Has the cop had a bad day? Is it near the end of the month and he's got a quota to fill? Are you from out-of-state? I've been let go for 35 over; I've been heavily fined for 10. 'Course, if you're some color other than White, different rules may apply, I'm told. Definitely much better.
The USA system has plenty of flaws but 10mph is 16kph. That’s pretty quick man.
When i still worked in zurich and went to work by car I got about a ticket every two months :D at the same blitzer nonetheless :D
Once they cross the German border they let go all inhibitions. I am from Lindau and I regularly go to Munich and the Swiss drivers can be just so annoying. They NEVER keep a distance to the vehicle in front and they use the flash lights in the weirdest situations.
Oh, and the other day I saw a Swiss Porsche Cayenne parked over TWO handicap parking spots of a local supermarket here.
I was once hurry to work with my bike... and was followed by police - I got attracted to them when I drove over a orange traffic light. Then I crossedto the other side of the street, where it was not allowed, drove a few meters on the sidewalk and crossed over a pedestrian crossing to get back on the street... then I got stopped by the police and had to pay..... almost 800 swiss francs (around 880 USD)!
They are also very creative at hiding them. Last fall, I saw one painted orange with gray-green spots to camouflage itself in the vegetation.
But in practice, it was quite visible and looked like a giraffe.
I have the perfect tactic to avoid getting speeding tickets in switzerland!
DON'T DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT
DON'T BREAK THE LAW
I'm always driving 50 tot 70 kph (25/35 mph) over. In May vakations and never had a ticket. In the city en villages their are som. If you are speeding in a residential aria your a dick en on de highways het is rich, on de highway there are many, many speedtraps. And the best thing is the flits meister app it works in most of the countrys. And you can add an speed camera if it's new and helps the communities. So please download FLITSMEISTER for free flom te app store 😁👌
I'm a dyslect and sorry for de mistakes a made with typing
It's all good. I'm dyslexic also.
Swiss roads kill 27 people per year per million population, US roads kill 124. Questions?
The video is intended to educate those that may not be familiar with Swiss traffic law. Understanding the US driver fatality rate goes much deeper than speed cameras. Thank you for watching.🙂
@America meets Switzerland Wow, I didn't expect an answer on a video this old, and even less this fast 😀
You're absolutely right, there is much more behind the difference between fatality rates in Switzerland (and some other countries that are even better) and the USA. However, the approach to speed limits, be it how they're followed or how they are controlled and enforced, is an excellent example.
With this, my comment was more aimed at your audience then at you - as I unterstand, your wife is än ächti Zürcheri; my experience with Zurich makes me suspect you've been explained all this, in detail 😁
Switzerland is very different from other European countries in this respect. According to Wikipedia, Switzerland has one of the lowest per capita road death rate in the world. Yet, giving people fines for going 1-3 km/h over the speed limit consider most of the non-Swiss Europeans as bullying, 'cause this certainly doesn't contribute to the low death rate.
In the Uk we have cameras but not as many as Europe and we have police speed traps but not as many as the states... as with most government things here were like 45% European, 45% American and like 10% doing our own thing. Our fixed speed cameras 🎥 here though are painted yellow so you can slow down and then speed right up again after
🤣
Did you know that Switzerland was one of the most unsafe countries to drive in Europe? A LOT of people died here in car accidents. In the 70s about 1750 People died in one year just from car accidents. Now its about 250 per year. So yes we got really strict rules but we have a reason for that.
This is a very good point and something that should have been brought up in the video. However the video was not intended to criticise Swiss traffic law. But instead to be a warning for visitors.
@@AmericameetsSwitzerland Oh i didn't saw it as a criticism :) don't worry. I just learnt that fact recently and understand our laws much better now.
But to write "Fun Fact" at the beginning of my firs comment felt a little insensitive...
I am from switzerland. And i have a driverslicense since 2005. Until today i got only one speeding ticked. Wanna know how i dit that? Obey the fucking Speedlimit. Its realy not that hard.
I love the US for not having those bloody Bitzers. Over there it's more man to man thing. Police has to catch you in person. I really enjoyed driving in the US.
🤣
And they'll mess you up for sure in America, especially if you're black.
I normally drive about 20% over speed limits and pay 50 to 100 a year for my heavy big toe.
Lowest wages are around 3500 a month. Do you really think somebody is looking out for those "Blitzer"?
Earning 8 dollars an hour is something different. It would hurt then. But it hurts me more, knowing that people don't get fair wages in America than paying such a small fine which tells me not to speed up too much. After all, you don't gain that much time, do you?
Rules are fair, but changing speed limits without warning citizens is a theft!
I hate blitzers too but let's be fair: the speed limits are there for a reason!
The speed limits are there for a reason. The video is more geared towards someone form outside of the country who dose not know about the the speed cameras.
Thank you for watching!
its anoying us too =) haha but we have to live with it like you.
My wife got blitzed by a red light. She had to pay 250.- Fr. because of 0.7 seconds.
Oi, what's the speeding ticket score after 9 more months, mate?
I’m actually doing pretty good. I’m up to 4 now.😂
I can agree that they are some times annoying.
But
Road is here for Transporting stuff. It's better if we transport things efficiently. If everyone drives at whatever speed it is just not efficient at all. unfortunately our cars are driven by humans and humans find it notoriously difficult to understand basic logic. I understand the drivers, I got tickets myself. But I also understand the legislators for doing this. I rather have it like this than having chaos everywhere.
Its very simple with these blitzers...
A round sign along the street shows a number on it.
If your speed exceeds this number, youre fucked here...
Last ticket i got was 2 weeks ago for 1km/h...im feeling ya.
1. You were faster than signaled, that should be a fact, otherwise you can dispute the tickets in court.
2. Your representation is wrong, the actually measured speed is deducted a tolerance value depending on the measuring device etc., so your actual speed was higher than you said.
3. As long as you get a ticket, everything is still in the green area; Because we still have the speeder article with which you can even confiscate the vehicle and auction it for the benefit of the state if you exceed a certain limit.
4. We Swiss certainly have countless rules and laws ... which we (mostly) adhere to, sometimes tricky for foreigners, but that's the way it is and it works ... most of the time. :-D
I feel for you was here 4 months got 3 tickets.
And limits change every few 100meters on motorway
You definitely don't need cruise control here.
Never received a speeding ticket in the uk til i came to little switzerland. 2km 4km 7km over and many more i could mention. I'm outta here
Unless I have to to Switzerland, I always avoid it. I go through France or Germany to go from the Netherlands to Italy or viceversa. The main problem is not the limits itself, but it is how often they change in the motorway.
Very true. It is so annoying.
There's a simple solution to that. Pick yourself a nice artic, set auto steer and adaptive cruise control and chill in the right lane. Makes hardly any difference whatsoever in travel time and saves a lot of petrol.
Actually I am swiss and I live in zurich. In my whole life I got 3 tickets. So I see I am pretty lucky....😂😂! Hugs to the US.....
You have skills. 😂
@@AmericameetsSwitzerland ✌✌👍👍👋👋!
@@AmericameetsSwitzerland or maybe he's got an app? 😅
Good thing about the Blitzer (Blechpolizist aka Robocop)
It is not gonna put a bullet into you!
I got a ticket for going through a red light.. I missed the yellow by 0.66 seconds
Iˋm Swiss and I hate Blitzer to.
i've noticed the tiles in the back, are you a roofer? cause I am....
I'm not but the hause we live in has a tile roof and I do the repairs when needed. Roofing is a trade I would love to learn.
What happens if you choose not to pay them?
It is pretty easy if you rented a car in Switzerland your creditcard will be charged with the fine and the administrative costs.
Great video! Except... What did you have to pay for this last ticket? Left hanging!
If u are used to u just know where they are and where they could be 😌
can you fight these tickets? how much are the fines each time? what a PIA.
It is annoying and I don't think you can but, I could be wrong about that. Here is a list of the fines.www.ch.ch/en/driving-over-speed-limit
You can try to fight them, but your will lose.
The speed cameras are pretty accurate. And they give you already a reduction of 3 km/h. No chance.
oh you don't se stuttgart (Germany)
Wait til you drive through France!
But we god evidence and not " because I say you were speeding"
Jesus is Lord in USA and Switzerland...I am 50 years Old and I am driving for 32 years in Switzerland...I was everytime very very carrefull and I got 5 Tickets Till now...Hope the fifth was the last,...
The law is pretty straight forward and valid for all, you dont like it.... leave for a better country!
Hello, This video was made for people who are unfamiliar with Swiss speeding cameras. At the time, I never thought that Swiss would watch my videos, and I should have been clearer. I have no issue with the law or the cameras. Rather, after hearing from several people who had visited Switzerland and not known that they were getting speeding tickets until they came in the mail weeks later I made this video. The intention of the video was to educate people who are not familiar with Swiss speeding cameras while being entertaining.
Thank you for watching!
Well, it‘s simple: FOLLOW THE F**** SPEED LIMITS!
I always *love* (hum) when people do not respect the law and make videos to complain about being punished for not respecting the law. if you get ticket on Highway for 4 mph, okay, it's annoying. But if you get ticket for 4 mph in a village, it means you're driving is dangerous and if you hit a kid, at 60km/h you kill the kid. So just think about it next time before complaining on videos about not respecting the law. Enjoy Switzerland.
Hello I’m sorry I missed your comment. This video is not intended to criticise Swiss traffic law. It is intended to inform visitors of the strict speed limits while at the same time being interesting. Thank you for watching.
You got a ticket for 2.5 miles an hour after deducting a tolerance of about 8% of your speed. Drive 55 in a 50er zone and nothing happens. Drive 58 in a 50er zone you wine about a fine you get on 2.5 miles an hour.
That's how Americans explain something.
Lie about half of the information and wine like a baby 🤦♂️
I still hear your president say "the way they treat me is just unfair, boo hoo" 😂
Pay those lowsy 40 and be quiet pls😂 Why even mention something like this? Who cares about a ticket? 🤷♂️
Every time I step foot out of the house here, I get fined for something 😂 I have just come to accept it as some kind of additional tax 🤣
