Although this thread is a couple of years old, I would like to add my comment to this, as so much false information is flying around in here.
First of all: not paying a Swiss ticket is the worst idea one could have. Switzerland is very strict, has high fines and usually enforces a lot of speed limit by speeding traps or video cameras. Further, a lof of speed limit or traffic violations are considered a felony (where in Germany a lot of violations are considered an administrative offence). If caught in the act, Swiss police will detain you, seize your passport and licence, depending on the speed you were going, impound your car. As hwalk I was working in Switzerland, and it is crazy dangerous. There is hardly any room to negotiate, even with a good lawyer. To all the guys telling the OP to not pay, his decision; I had two colleagues detained at the border for minor violations - no joke and very inconvenient if you have to travel for work, but need to tell your boss that you missed a flight to Asia because of not paying a 150.00 EUR fine a year ago... Depending on the citizenship and for really high fines, Switzerland will try to get a warrant in your country (happened to a few Germans), which - because it is a felony and not only an offense - is possible. Certainly not in the US, but with citizens of EU member states this is normal practice. Some violations may even be stored longer than three (3) years, I think up to ten (10) years is possible. As to getting your details, whether it is ED or rental car, Swiss authorities will come to know - do not worry... Quote:
Other than that I did 40k kilometers in approx. 8-9 month in Switzerland and was slow (or lucky) enough to not get any ticket. Be careful out there! |
