Quick tip on vignettes,

Put some clingfilm neatly in the corner of the screen & attatch sticky vignette to it, can then be swapped around on different cars

The Swiss police often check the attachment of vignettes. Anything that makes them removable incurs a huge fine.

How often do they actually check people these days? Bearing in mind they are now in the Schengen so no looking at every car that crosses the border. When I went in 2006, we bought one at the border even though we were on a minor road and asked as we knew we would need one later. Incidentally it is still on the screen now along with a few other vignettes as mementos.

They have spot checks for vignettes the same as in Austria. We've been checked several times in Austria and twice in Switzerland although we spend more time in Austria.
