Re: How do speeding fines work in Switzerland?

I received a fine the other day for driving my "scooter" too fast...I was going 63kph where the limit was 50kph. The irony is that I honestly believed that the limit was 60 which it was on the same road just before the speed camera.

Just to let you know, the speeding fine said that they gave me 5kph leeway so I was going 63-5=58, 58-50= 8kph over the limit, which resulted into a CHF 120fine. The other thing is that I am sure I did not go over 60.

I mean come on.........It's only a scooter. I bought it for economy, not to pay fines.

For your info the camera I got caught on was on Wallissellenstrasse going towards the airport.
