...and "Au" is "gold". Have we covered everything yet?

I like the French way of signalling left until it is time to signal right to exit. The fact that I can see that someone's signal is on means that they are (most likely) aware of what they are doing and will signal their exit.

Seems a shame to fine someone for being proactively safe.

Not yet there's also the charming village of Au in Zürich canton.

... and of course Ag is silver, whereas AG is something completely different...

yeah. i learned not to trust any signal given by other drivers...

Red heads? White socks?

Les flics (in sunny Geneva)

That is the best advice. I was taught to drive as if every other driver were stupid, drunk, angry and tired.

Ugh !!! This thread has gone way off-course !!

OP , Dude , an update please !!

I believe this is part of the Schengen agreement. However, they have no power of arrest or to issue on the spot fines, but must call the Swiss police for assistance.

He's most likely still sitting in U-Haft.

Still nothing on 20min twitter, relevant news like this get the headlines

If the police got outrun, they may not be advertising it :-D

That would mean no police power at all.

Here's one of the explicit ones between CH and Germany, see §10. This looks like an updated version, the version I remember included the border Cantons as signatories, probably the Bundesländer as well, because police power lies in the hand of the Cantons. Perhaps domestic laws and regulations have been amended meanwhile, allowing simplification and streamlining of the entire undertanking.

That said, issuing standardised fines means the absence of Gefahr im Verzug (immediate danger of really bad stuff happening) and is unlikely to be allowed by such a treaty.
