CHF80 , thats a snip for Switzerland.
I once got pulled there for overtaking. No other vehicles, solid lines, trees, buildings or people visible for several hundred metres in all directions, just road and grass.
The Police officer explained the offence, which despite his good English was incomprehensible .
The fine was several hundred pounds equivalent.
My mate in the car kicked off and got threatened with prison.
Taking a leaf out of my aforementioned mates spiel book, I calmed the situation and knocked him down to about £20
