True, but I think if we did everyone in Switzerland would be without a license!

Mind you, the point at which you lose a licence is much lower than for example in Australia. There they are constantly making you feel the presence of the police, but 30km/h is equivalent to one third of a licence.

I got done for 130 in a 100 zone here in Switzerland and lost my licence for 1 month. The fines were about 1500, and to add insult to injury they charged me ANOTHER 300 francs just to "manage the confiscation" of my license. What did they do for my licence? Did it get room service and a newspaper every morning? I should bloody well hope so!

I wish I could think of a better solution to your problem. Some might say the solution is not to speed - but we all know that no matter how hard you try to behave yourself you are always going to run foul of the law when the tolerance is so low! When even the Swiss are complaining about something then you can't be accused of a whinging foreigner (but they will still say that anyway - even if they complain too!)
